Anyone looking for grants spends a lot of time researching. The more results a search yields, the harder it becomes to filter out the foundations that are truly a good fit. With the Deep Shape Release, we\u2019ve completely revamped the search function on Spheriq: it\u2019s faster, more precise, and easier to navigate. This helps you reach your goal faster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Effective grant research stands or falls on getting the right results\u2014directly and reliably. In practice, this often means going through a long list of results entry by entry, opening profiles one by one, comparing them, and then discarding them. The broader the search, the more time this step takes\u2014time that\u2019s already in short supply in day-to-day fundraising. <\/p>\n\n

    Reach your goal faster<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

    Behind the scenes, the search function now runs on powerful search technology that is directly integrated into Spheriq\u2019s infrastructure. This allows us to replace an external search service provider that previously provided the necessary search capabilities. This means that, effective immediately, your search queries and the associated data will no longer be processed by an external third-party provider. This gives us greater control over the data and strengthens data protection for you and the organizations listed in the directory. <\/p>\n\n

    Above all, this technological investment is essential for the expanded search, filter, and sort options now available to you with the Deep Shape release. These features help you arrive at even more relevant results with greater precision. We\u2019ve set a high goal for ourselves: Finding instead of searching. <\/p>\n\n

    Search More Precisely with Search Operators<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

    You can now combine your search terms in a targeted way. The following operators are available directly in the search field: <\/p>\n\n
