Browsing and filtering talent
The search field, the filter panel, sorting, and what a card tells you before you open anything.

Browsing is free, all of it, with no account and no limit.
The search field
Type a skill, a tool or an industry and press space on an exact name to turn it into a filter chip. Chips combine: two tools means somebody who has both, not either. Anything you have not turned into a chip is searched as text against headlines.
If you do not know the exact name, open Filters and pick from the lists. That is the discoverable path, and it is the reason the search field does not guess: a dropdown of suggestions that fires on every keystroke was noisier than it was useful.
Filters
One panel, six groups, in the order people fill them: rate, availability, verification, expertise, languages and sort. The button shows how many filters are active, so a filter set inside a group you have collapsed is never invisible.
Everything is free. There is no filter behind the subscription, because the whole point of the free plan is that you can find the right person before deciding whether to pay to contact them.
Sorting
The default is active first: people who have used the site recently come before people who have not, so the top of the results is the part most likely to answer you. "Newest first" is the old default and is still there. You can also sort by rate in either direction, and by profile score where scores are shown.
