Matching percentages

Can anyone either explain and/or point me to where I can find out how the matching system within dolphin works?  I don't understand the percentages and how they work.  Let me explain a brief scenario.

I have 3 profile types

  1. Player
  2. Coach
  3. Team
I have a field called "Looking For" which has the same values
  1. Player
  2. Coach
  3. Team
Now when someone signs up and says they are a coach.  Most likely they are looking for a player.  So in the search I have it setup so that a coach can choose who they are looking for and have it return all of the players in the membership base.  THIS ALL WORKS!

However,  how do I do the same logic using the matching percentages?  I want players to matched with coaches.

Again, even if you dont know how to help me, can you point me in the direction of some documentation that explains the matching and percents as I can't seem to find it anywhere.


Thank you.

The Matching Percentage feature is based on someone matching their profile information with someone else.
For example, if you create a drop down field that contains values of

Player
Coach
Team

Someone fills out their profile details and chooses Coach than when another member chooses Coach, there will be a XXX% Match between the 2 users.
The Matching Percentage depends on what values you give the match percentage to be.
