"Searching the reviews"
 
   Is there a way to globally search the contents of the reviews pointed to by providers in their ads? For instance I might like to find all providers with bald beavers (or other info like TCIM etc, that is nicely and concisely described in these reviews that is not found elsewhere).

If you're non-VIP, you can use the keyword search and it works pretty well.

If you're VIP, you have a lot of useful checkboxes you can click. Makes it very easy to look for a lady who is very compatible with you!

   It's under the Provider Details. You'll find the various check boxes where you can mark off in a more specific manner what you want.

This is a kind of lousy print screen, but gives you the idea.

   Unfortunately, that search function doesn't always work the way it is supposed to. I think the larger the search, the more unreliable it is.

Also, there is the human component. If you were to search for, say your example of BBBJTCIM, you will get a lot of providers who don't do that but because one guy checked the wrong box, checks all the boxes, or is throwing out bogus info, it shows up in the search. I routinely do searches that include BBBJ and will get providers with 24 reviews saying CBJ and one review that says BBBJ. Clearly she does CBJ, but she showed up in my search bc one reviewer put that in.

   Yep, sadly this can be a problem. When the check boxes first came out, it was quickly exploited by the shills/pimps/agenda guys. They write a glowing review, marking every possible option or service, and it maximizes the search for the girl they are trying to promote. The text of the review doesn't mention anything of the sort going on.

I have found that by using the Classic Review interface (just my preference) I can type in and do a word search for ex. BBBJTCWS, Greek, etc. and quickly find the number of occurences. Not always the best since some people will specifically state in the text of the review "no greek" or no CIM, but it does help.

For me at least, if it isn't in the actual text of the Review, it's a question mark requiring some more research. I suppose the bottom line is that nothing is going to be completely perfect.

   I'm confused by what you mean by the classic review interface.

On the home page it says something like "for the Classic escort site" then has both the "VIP" search and "Normal" search. I am a VIP member but I never use the VIP search, I use the "normal" search, but I don't see a way to search the text with that. Only to check off the boxes...

...ah, now I think I see it. Do you mean the "Comments" field under "provider profile" in the "normal" search? Not sure why I never thought of that, but if that's it, then thanks, that is a great tip!
