How to Search

Searching for (and finding) local businesses and organisations couldn't be easier as all searches on MiQuando™ are 'local' searches, which is why we ask for a Postcode and a Region.

When searching for local businesses, MiQuando™ has been designed so you get the best results by keeping your search terms simple. We recommend searching for things like:

Organisation name e.g.Terraclean
Type of Organisation e.g. Restaurant, Jeweller
A service offered e.g. Haircut, Acrylic nails, MOT,
A product offered e.g. Laptop, TV
A brand name e.g. Rolex, Audi, Samsung
Or combinations e.g. French Restaurant, Laptop Repair, Samsung TV etc.

Most people will use the Basic Search facilities, but if you are looking to make an appointment or a booking for a specific day and/or time, then you can take advantage of the Advanced Search facility available on MiQuando™.

Examples of when to use the Advanced Search might include searching for things like:

a restaurant with availability for Saturday night
a physiotherapist or osteopath with availability in the next few hours
a garage to MOT your car on a date that suits you

When using the Advanced Search option, you will see more fields available that will help you narrow down your search results so you only see those organisations that have Online Booking enabled and also have availability for the dates/times you are searching for.

Sorting Search Results

By default, the search results will display by Availability
