All Results / Friends / Find Friends / Stars / Places / Hashtag / Moments tabs.
After you tap a search result
Once you tap a result from the universal search (e.g., a person's name), the screen transitions to a filtered results page with multiple sub-tabs at the top.
The result filter tabs
A horizontal scroll of tabs lets you narrow what you see:
| Tab | What's there |
|---|---|
| All Results | Everything matching your search, mixed together |
| Friends | Only people you already follow whose names match |
| Find Friends | Suggested people you might want to follow, names matching |
| Stars | Currently Stars (founders, creators, top accounts) with crown badges, names matching |
| Places | Map locations whose names match |
| Hashtag | Hashtags matching your search |
| Moments | Public moments where your search appears in the caption, location, or hashtags |
How tabs are sorted
All Results is the default — it shows the most relevant items from each section, ranked by overall match quality.
Each individual tab shows only that category, sorted by:
- People tabs (Friends, Find Friends, Stars) — by mutual friend count, then by recent activity
- Places — by distance from you
- Hashtag — by usage count (most-used first)
- Moments — by recency
People result rows
Each person in the result list shows:
- Avatar with coin badge (e.g.,
50,200) - Name in red (highlighted match)
- Username (
@username) in gray - Mutual friends count or bio (e.g., 20 mutual friends or Founder at currently.club)
- Action button — Follow (green), Follow Back (red), or Message (gray) depending on relationship
Place result rows
Place results show:
- Place pin icon
- Place name + address line
- Distance from you (e.g.,
2 KM • Prahlad Nagar)
Tap a place to open its detail page (see Place detail pages).
FAQs — Reading search results
Q. Why is the same person showing up in multiple tabs?
A. They might be your friend AND a Currently Star, for example. Each tab applies one filter — the same person can satisfy multiple filters.
Q. Why are people I don't know showing up in Friends?
A. The Friends tab in search results specifically means people you follow whose names match your query — not your contacts list. If a 'friend' in the list isn't actually your friend, you may have followed them at some point.
Q. Can I sort the results differently?
A. Search results are auto-sorted for relevance. You can't manually re-sort, but switching tabs (e.g., to Places) gives a different sort applied to that one category.
Q. Why don't I see any moments in the Moments tab of my search?
A. Either there genuinely aren't matching moments, or your search query is too narrow. Try a broader term or a different word.
Q. Why do some people show 'Follow Back' instead of 'Follow'?
A. Follow Back appears when they already follow you, but you don't follow them. It's a friendly nudge to reciprocate. Tapping it follows them back.
