The search box finds opportunities by the words you type. It works in all three tabs. On the Pilot plan, the Opportunities page is locked. See Why an opportunity or Hunter action is locked.

Steps

  1. In the left menu, click Opportunities.
  2. Click the search box above the list.
  3. Enter the words. For example, a trade, an agency or a solicitation number.
  4. Press Enter, or wait for the list to update.
  5. To remove the search, click the clear button in the box.

What the search reads

Hunter looks for your words in these places:

  • The title and the full text of the notice.
  • The solicitation number.
  • The agency name and its short name.
  • The city and the notice type.
  • Hunter's plain-English title and short summary.

Tips

  • Type a state by its name or its two-letter code. Hunter then matches the place of the work.
  • Do not type amounts or small joining words. Hunter drops them. Use Filters for job size. See Narrow opportunities by trade, location, buyer, job size, and deadline.
  • Hunter also looks for related meaning, so a close word can find a match.
  • If a state code is also an everyday word, type it in capitals. For example, type IN, OR, ME, HI or OK.

What you see next

The list shows the opportunities that match. If you did not choose a sort, the sort changes to Most relevant. See How Best match sorting and search find opportunities.

⚠️ If nothing appears: Try fewer words. Then read Why there are no matches or results.

For a question in plain language, use Ask Hunter next to the box. See Ask Hunter to find or narrow opportunities in plain language.
