Active Search Fields for This Search Box

The search query you type into this search box checks the following fields:

Try an Example (click any example to test):

Search Scopes (Player / Referee / Any field)

Any field (default): Searches across all available information simultaneously — player names, referee names, teams, clubs, competitions, grades, and venues.
Player: Focuses the search specifically on player profiles and club/school appearances.
Referee: Filters specifically for fixtures officiated by the named referee.

Multi-Phrase Search & Comma (,) Separators

Use a comma , to separate distinct search phrases (e.g. Tom Walsh, U16). Each comma-separated phrase is evaluated across any of the searchable fields:

Multi-Field Matching: Entering Tom Walsh, U16 matches records that contain both "Tom Walsh" and "U16" across any searchable fields (e.g. player name and grade).
Exact Mode: Toggling Exact treats each comma-separated phrase as a strict exact term without requiring literal quotes.
Synonyms Expansion: Toggling Synonyms expands each individual phrase to include known nicknames and variations (e.g. "Tom Walsh" expands to match "Thomas Walsh" and "Tommy Walsh").

Name Variations & Nicknames (Synonyms)

Toggleable (ON / OFF)

The search engine automatically recognizes common Irish name variations and nicknames:

Patrick Paddy Pat

Searching for Paddy Walsh with Synonyms ON automatically finds records for Paddy Walsh, Patrick Walsh, and Pat Walsh. In Exact mode with Synonyms ON, each variant is matched as an exact term.

Synonyms Switch: When OFF, only the exact typed text is used without nickname expansion.

Exact Search & Multi-Field Matching (Exact)

Toggleable (ON / OFF)

When the Exact switch is turned ON, search terms are strictly required to appear together within individual fields:

Within-Field Match: Searching for joe reddan requires that both "joe" and "reddan" appear in the same field (e.g. the player's name), irrespective of word order. A record where "Joe" is in one field and "Reddan" is in a different field is excluded.
Comma Delimited (Multi-Field Constraints): Using a comma , divides your search into independent field requirements. For example:

joe reddan, blackrock

Requires that "joe" and "reddan" both appear within one field (e.g. player name) AND "blackrock" appears in another field (e.g. club / team). Only records satisfying both constraints are returned.

Combining Search Terms with Commas or Spaces

You can narrow down results across multiple fields by separating terms with a comma or spaces:

Paddy Bloggs, U16

Finds players named Paddy / Patrick / Pat Bloggs who have played in U16 grades or competitions.

Joe Bloggs, Lansdowne

Finds player Joe Bloggs within the team or club Lansdowne.

Exact Value Matching with Double Quotes

If you enclose a name or phrase in double quotation marks " ", the search engine looks for only that exact value:

"Patrick Bloggs"

Only matches profiles that have the exact name Patrick Bloggs, skipping nickname variants like "Paddy Bloggs".

Typo Tolerance & Keyboard Shortcuts

Typo Tolerance: Small spelling errors are automatically corrected (e.g., typing Blogg will still find Bloggs).
Shortcut: Press / or Ctrl + K anywhere on the page to focus the search bar.
