Standardized drop-down for colleges and universities

The search feature is hindered by misspellings in the colleges and universities section. Introducing a standardized drop-down menu would prevent errors and streamline the search process, enhancing user experience.

Totally agree. This is sort of ridiculous. I understand that not every university can be listed and that's why I was told it is not standardized when we came on board. But it does make it extremely difficult during searches. Here is a screen shot of an example for Stanford. As for your question, Ginu, below, I'm finding ANY university can be misspelled or shortened or the word University itself is not used. Again see Stanford examples. I show both from Data Studio and from Directory Search.

We have the same issue. See our example for Stanford from our Directory Search and Data Studio. We have 15 different results for "Stanford." It is also difficult to select more than one result at a time, so it is arduous to get a complete list.
