In short, searching is used to look up a recipient. This could be a recipient you've assisted in the past or a recipient you're considering assisting.
When you perform a search HopeGrid looks for the following:
- Recipients (added by your organization) with a name matching the search term
- Alerts (added by any organization) for a recipient with a name matching the search term (within the selected search radius)
- Assists
- added by your organization for a recipient with a name matching the search term
- added by another organization, that is released, for a recipient with a name matching the search term (within the selected search radius)
