Searching for members by state or country

[SpclK]

Please let me know if this thread belongs here, and move it to where it should be if it isn't. Thanks!

I'm a newbie of a little over a month, even though I've been a lurker for a few years. I'm thankful people didn't have to be a member in order to search through threads to find what we're looking for.

I have some questions that are specific to my state and environment within/outside my home and have been looking for members located in my state who can shed some insight. It seems as though the search engine to look for members looks only to see if a particular state is listed in the member's ID. For example, search for Ohio, Wisconsin, and Florida and see what you get. Is there a way to search for members by the state or country they're located in? If there isn't, can it please be added? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Members and Mods, please leave feedback on if you feel this could be a useful addition and whether this could be possible. Thanks!
