# Advanced filters

Plus and Gold members can filter For You by religion, dating intention, relationship type, drinking and ethnicity. Where they are and how they behave.

Advanced filters let Plus and Gold members narrow For You by five things: religion, dating intention, relationship type, drinking and ethnicity. They sit at the bottom of Match Preferences. Everyone, on any plan, can set distance, age range and who they want to date.

## Set a filter

1. Open the **Profile** tab, tap **Settings**, then **Match preferences**. Or tap the sliders icon at the top of **For You**.
2. Scroll down to **Advanced Filters**.

3. Under **Religion**, **Dating Intention**, **Relationship Type** or **Drinking**, tap the answer you want. Tap **Any** to remove that filter.
4. Under **Ethnicity**, tap one or more answers. Tap an answer again to remove it. Leave them all off for any.

Each filter applies as soon as you tap it. On the Free plan this section shows **Reserved for paid members** with a **View Plus / Gold** button.

## How the filters behave

- They apply to For You. Daily does not use them.
- A filter only matches what people show on their profile. Someone who hid that answer, or left it empty, is not shown while the filter is on.
- With several ethnicities chosen, a person needs to match any one of them.
- Every filter you add makes the list shorter. If nobody fits, For You shows people outside your filters and tells you in a banner.
- When your pass ends, the filters stop applying.

> [!NOTE]
> On the Android app, advanced filters go back to **Any** when the app has been fully closed and opened again. Check them when you start browsing. Murudo Web keeps them in the browser where you set them.

## What you cannot filter by

There is no filter for verified profiles, height, children, family plans, interests or school. **Height Display** only switches between metres and feet.

## On Murudo Web

Open **Profile**, then **Settings**, then **Advanced Filters**. The same five filters are there. Dating intention is labelled **Looking for**. On the Free plan the section shows **View Plus / Gold plans**.
