New Find A Chapter should limit results to chapters with classification open

Why does the new Find A Chapter system not incorporate the classification look-up system that is used in the mobile app and Visitor Portal where as the classification is typed in suggestions for official classifications come up. This would allow the search to only show chapters with the classification open. It seems since this is already built into other parts of BNI Connect that it could be incorporated into this new Find A Chapter system.

  @richard - the find a chapter was not designed to search for openings, or prioritize the results by openings. One of the reasons for this is that our internal categories don't mean as much to visitors as they do to us.  The priority is to get them to a BNI meeting to experience it and then if it is a conflict to get them to a chapter with an opening as the second priority.  In addition, our categories tend to be broad and able to be "shared" in many cases.  

  That said, a specific "find an opening" is something that we are considering as a separate type of placement search and we will add this as a vote to that initiative.
