Creating a Moment

Searching for an activity

Updated

Type to find activities — even ones tucked under different categories.

Searching

At the top of the activity picker, a Search bar lets you type to find activities.

How search works

  1. Tap the Search field.
  2. Type a few letters of the activity (e.g., cric).
  3. Currently shows all matching results from across categories.

Example: searching 'cric'. Cricket under Playing, Cricket under Watching, Cricket under Enjoying. The same word appears in multiple categories — pick the one that fits.

Why one word might appear under multiple categories

Some activities make sense in different contexts. Cricket can be:

  • Playing - Cricket — you're actively playing
  • Watching - Cricket — you're at a match or watching on TV
  • Enjoying - Cricket — casual / vibe with cricket on the side

Pick the context that matches what you're doing right now. The right context helps your moment reach the right friends.

If your search returns nothing

If you search for something Currently doesn't have (e.g., Tv for watching TV), you'll see only your search term plus an Add button:

Example — no matches. Tv [Add]. Tap Add to create it as a custom activity (see Adding a custom activity).

Clearing your search

Tap the Clear link on the right side of the search bar to clear your search and return to the full Trending Now / All Activities view.

FAQs — Searching

Q. Why does my search show 3 results that all look the same?

A. Because the same activity name (like Cricket) exists in different parent categories (Playing, Watching, Enjoying). Pick the one that matches what you're doing — the parent matters.

Q. Search is empty but I know I added a custom activity before. Why?

A. Custom activities you've added in past moments are tied to those moments, not the picker. They don't appear as suggestions for new moments — you'd need to re-add them.

Q. Can I search by emoji?

A. Not yet — search is text only. Type the activity name in English (or Hindi).

Q. My search is showing options I don't want. How do I narrow it?

A. Type more letters to narrow — cric returns more than cricket. Or just tap the specific result you want from the list.
