The Search Fund Directory is a valuable and growing resource that lists active and inactive search funds. Currently, users can only access information through a single search bar, and retrieving data often requires clicking through individual tabs, making navigation more time-consuming than it needs to be. I'm unsure how common UI suggestions are in this community, but a more robust filtering system could significantly improve usability. Filters for fields such as name, formation date, searchers, location, model, industry, acquisition date, target, exit, and investors would significantly streamline the process of finding relevant information. I would love to hear what others think, and I am open to feedback or alternative ideas.

The Searchfund Directory is one of the oldest parts of Searchfunder and is also one of the most time consuming to maintain. We've made past attempts to get more people to share their successes on Searchfunder, but haven't cracked the nut so far. ^redacted‌ may have more to stay here.
