All five start ticked, so the way to narrow the board is to <strong>untick<\/strong> the ones you do not want &mdash; leave <strong>Freelance<\/strong>, <strong>Part Time<\/strong> and <strong>Temporary<\/strong> ticked, for instance, and untick <strong>Full Time<\/strong> and <strong>Internship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the picture the <strong>Temporary<\/strong> tickbox is ringed.

That is the honest result of stacking a town, a remote-only tickbox and three leftover tag filters on top of one another; the Troubleshooting section below shows how to open it back up.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:34px auto 42px;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/searching-jobs-by-keyword-location-and-distance-mtmn216p-03.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Click to view full size\" class=\"docbot-zoom\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius:10px;box-shadow:0 5px 25px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1);border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto;cursor:zoom-in;\" src=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/searching-jobs-by-keyword-location-and-distance-mtmn216p-03.png\" alt=\"The job-type tickboxes with the Temporary box ringed, and a results bar reading Search completed.

What you have is a <strong>Location<\/strong> box that matches the place written on the role, plus the <strong>Remote positions only<\/strong> tickbox.<\/p>\n<p>That still gets you a long way, as long as you search the way the board thinks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go broader, not closer.<\/strong> Instead of a radius around your suburb, type the city &mdash; and if that is too tight, try the state.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try the neighbouring town by name.<\/strong> Run the same keywords again with a different place in the Location box. It takes seconds, because the board updates in place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave Location empty to see everything.<\/strong> With the box clear, the board shows roles from everywhere, and you can scan the location shown on each card yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Remote positions only for work that has no place at all.<\/strong> Those roles are not attached to a town, so no place name will find them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips and best practices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Search wide first, then narrow.<\/strong> Start with one keyword and nothing else, see how many roles come back, and add a filter at a time. It is much easier to spot which filter emptied the list.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clear the tags you did not choose.<\/strong> The <strong>Filter by tag:<\/strong> row can already be narrowing the board before you type a single word. Remove any tag you do not want with its small <strong>&times;<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use one strong word.<\/strong> &ldquo;Rangoli&rdquo; will find more than &ldquo;rangoli workshop assistant needed for Diwali&rdquo;. Add words only when the list is too long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remember the job types are all on.<\/strong> Nothing is filtered out until you untick something &mdash; and once you untick, it stays unticked while you carry on searching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the count before you conclude anything.<\/strong> &ldquo;Found 0 matching records&rdquo; means your filters were too tight, not that Utsav Volunteers has no roles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#eef8f0;border-left:4px solid #2e9e5b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#127919; <strong>Best practice<\/strong><br \/>Change one thing at a time and read the count after each change. Because the board re-runs the search on every click, a single filter is always the difference between a full list and an empty one &mdash; and that makes it easy to undo.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fff6f1;border-left:4px solid #e0592b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#128161; <strong>Tip<\/strong><br \/>Roles close on a date &mdash; each card shows a &ldquo;Closes&rdquo; line. If you are searching for something seasonal, come back and run the same search every week or two, or set up email alerts on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-volunteers\/job-alerts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Job Alerts<\/a> page so new roles come to you.<\/div>\n<h2>Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<h3>The board says &ldquo;Search completed. Found 0 matching records.&rdquo;<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Filters stack. Keywords, Location, the remote tickbox, the tag filters and the job types all apply at once, so a role has to satisfy every one of them. The commonest trap is <strong>Remote positions only<\/strong> ticked while a town sits in the Location box &mdash; a remote role has no town, so nothing can match both.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Untick <strong>Remote positions only<\/strong>, remove any tag in the <strong>Filter by tag:<\/strong> row with its <strong>&times;<\/strong>, then clear the <strong>Location<\/strong> box. Re-tick every job type. If roles reappear, add your filters back one at a time until the list empties &mdash; the last one you added is the culprit.<br \/><strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> The board is still empty with all boxes clear, all five job types ticked and no tag filters left.<\/p>\n<h3>There is no distance or radius box to fill in<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> The Open Roles board does not have one. Searching by area is done by typing a place name into <strong>Location<\/strong>, not by setting a distance around you.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Type a broader place &mdash; the city rather than the neighbourhood, or the state rather than the city &mdash; and re-run the search. To include work with no fixed place, run it again with <strong>Remote positions only<\/strong> ticked and the Location box empty.<br \/><strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> You are following instructions from elsewhere that refer to a distance or radius control, so we can correct them.<\/p>\n<h3>A sign-in box appears instead of the board<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Open Roles is for signed-in members, and your session has ended.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Sign in from the account menu at the top right of the page, then open <strong>Utsav Volunteers &gt; Open Roles<\/strong> again.<br \/><strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> The sign-in box keeps coming back after you have signed in successfully.<\/p>\n<h3>The list does not change after you type<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> The typed boxes are not always applied the instant you stop typing, and a slow connection can leave the spinner turning.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Click <strong>Search Jobs<\/strong> to run the search yourself, and wait for the bar above the list to say the search completed.<br \/><strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> The spinner never resolves, or the count in the bar disagrees with the roles shown underneath.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I search for roles within a certain number of kilometres of me?<\/strong><br \/>A: No. The Open Roles board has no distance or radius control and no map. Type a town, city or state into the <strong>Location<\/strong> box instead, and widen the place name if too little comes back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I have to press Search Jobs every time?<\/strong><br \/>A: Not for the tickboxes &mdash; ticking or unticking one re-runs the search on its own. Use <strong>Search Jobs<\/strong> after you have typed into the <strong>Keywords<\/strong> or <strong>Location<\/strong> boxes, or whenever you want to be sure the list matches the search bar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Why do I see tags I never chose?<\/strong><br \/>A: The board can arrive with tag filters already applied, shown in the <strong>Filter by tag:<\/strong> row. They narrow your results just like the other filters do. Click the small <strong>&times;<\/strong> on any tag to remove it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What do the five tickboxes do if they are all ticked?<\/strong><br \/>A: Nothing is excluded &mdash; every kind of role is shown. They filter only once you untick one, so untick the types you are not interested in rather than looking for a type to switch on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I search without signing in?<\/strong><br \/>A: No. Open Roles is a members&rsquo; board, so a sign-in box appears in place of it when you are signed out. Sign in from the account menu at the top right and open the page again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I be told about new roles instead of searching again?<\/strong><br \/>A: Yes &mdash; set up email alerts on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-volunteers\/job-alerts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Job Alerts<\/a> page. Running a search here never saves it; the board always opens fresh.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-mahi=\"context\">\nAlso asked as: how do I search for jobs on Utsav Volunteers; find volunteering roles near me on MyMahotsav; search Open Roles by keyword; how to filter jobs by location; is there a distance or radius search for jobs; search jobs within 10 km of my city; how do I find remote roles on Utsav Volunteers; why does the Open Roles search show 0 matching records; how to filter Open Roles by job type; what does Remote positions only do; how do I clear the tag filters on the jobs board; where is the Search Jobs button. Applies to: Utsav Volunteers Open Roles job search (also reached from the Utsav Works job board pages &mdash; same board). Where to find it: Utsav Volunteers menu &gt; Open Roles, direct link https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-volunteers\/open-roles\/ (signed-in members only; a sign-in box appears in place of the board when signed out). Canonical facts: the search bar holds a Keywords text box, a Location text box, a Remote positions only tickbox, a narrower dropdown labelled Choose a&#8230; (label clipped at normal width) and a red Search Jobs button. Below the bar is a Filter by tag: row of removable tag chips (each with an x), then five job-type tickboxes &mdash; Freelance, Full Time, Internship, Part Time, Temporary &mdash; which all start ticked, so narrowing means unticking. There is NO distance, radius or km control and no map anywhere on the board; searching by area is done by typing a place name into Location, or by ticking Remote positions only for roles with no fixed place. Results refresh in place without a page reload; a bar above the list reports &#8220;Search completed. Found N matching records.&#8221; and shows &#8220;There are no listings matching your search.&#8221; when N is 0. Ticking or unticking a filter re-runs the search immediately; Search Jobs is used after typing. Remote positions only combined with a place name in Location typically returns 0 results, because remote roles are not tied to a town. Leftover tag filters also narrow results before any typing. Nothing is saved by running a search; for email alerts about new roles use https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-volunteers\/job-alerts\/. Each role card shows the employer, the location or Remote, when it was posted and a Closes date.<br \/>\nVideo walkthrough: https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/kb-img\/searching-jobs-by-keyword-location-and-distance-mtmn216p-walkthrough.mp4\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open the Utsav Volunteers menu, choose Open Roles, then type what you are looking for into the Keywords box and a town or city into the Location box; the board updates as you go, and you can narrow it further with the Remote positions only tickbox and the five job-type tickboxes.
