Typing filters profile cards and the letter row when shown (blurbs count too). Area uses broad buckets (West OC, Uptown, Midtown, Downtown)—each card still shows the full neighborhood line. Cuisine matches one cuisine tag on the card. With text in the field, each visible letter chip’s number is how many profiles in that section match. Esc clears text and resets the dropdowns; / focuses this field when you are not in another input; Enter jumps to the first visible card when the field is not empty. See directory FAQs. For a GPS sort across all pinned profiles (not just this category), use restaurants near me —the same shortcut appears in this hub’s hero.
