I have seen a lot of people asking the same questions time and time again.
How do I contact Airbnb? How do I block off dates on my calendar or change the price on my calendar? How do I (insert here).
So it is now time to make a "How To Guide for Using the Community Center Search Engine".
Every Community Center page has a box at the top with a magnifying glass and inside that box it says: "Search the community". It looks like the image below.
So what you need to do is ask yourself, "What type of question do I want to ask that I have been unable to ask by searching on the Airbnb help links or by doing a Google Search?". When you have that unanswered question, type in key words into the search box to see if maybe it actually has been answered somewhere in the Community Center.
Let's take for example, "How can I talk to a real live person at Airbnb?" Ok, so I would type in "How to contact Airbnb" in the "Search the community" box at the top of the page and a lot of suggested posts will be shown. If any of those posts look like they may answer my question, I can click and I will be taken to that post. See the image below.
Now, let's just say that you have tried at least 2-3 different types of searches and you still can't find your answer. Airbnb has conveniently included a little button that says "Ask the Community". You can click on that and then write a post and someone will most likely answer your question rather quickly. In case you can't find the "Ask the Community" button, you could do a search in the Community Center or take a look at the image below and see if you can find it (hint: follow the red arrow).
Hopefully this has answered any questions on how to use the search bar. If this has helped you or made you laugh just a little, give it a "thumbs up". If you don't know what "thumbs up" is, I have also included an image below with a little red box around it. It is the hand that has a thumb up in the air.
Happy hosting and I would like to wish everyone a very safe and enjoyable holiday season and a prosperous 2016.
