Only what you put in the ‘Biography’ section in the ‘About Me’ section of your profile is searchable when searching in Swapcard
The other fields, like ‘How can I help others’ and ‘How can others help me’ appear when you view someone’s profile, but will not be used when searching using Swapcard search. This is another reason to use the Swapcard Attendee Google sheet that is linked-to in Swapcard to search
