When I click on "my match", it gives me the "View xx times" and I can reset it to Zero.
When I click "Who's viewed me", it gives me the list of profiles of people who viewed me. How can I set this back to "blank" and if the same person viewed me, his profile will appear again? If I select "Remove from searches", his profile will be gone even tho he viewed me an hour ago.
Thanks.

I think it does refresh whenever a person views your profile. He or she gets moved up to the top as the most recent person to see you. I've had it happen with a guy who I was about to go out with that he suddenly appeared at the top of my "who viewed me list" after being at the bottom of the page.
We can only guess.
This is new to me...
Once you selected "remove from search" after Who's viewed me, his profile will be gone for good from Who's viewed me...even tho if he views your profile two/three times later in the week.
Yes, I agree, when you put "remove from search" the guy will disappear and will never pop up again.
I think what we're discussing is whether the order in which the "who's viewed me" appears.
I believe that the most recent person to view your profile appears at the top, but that this would not include anyone who had turned off his/her profile for viewing you or anyone who you'd removed from search. So you can't be sure, in other words, that the most recent person to see you is really the person at the top of the list.
Imagine this: Fred, Sam, Bob and Carl all looked at your profile. Bob was first, Sam was second, Carl was third and Fred was fourth--that is, the most recent was Fred. But Fred's profile was "off." And you "removed" Bob from searches. So the only ones that show up are Sam and Carl, with Carl appearing at the top and Sam immediately below him. Your message may be "four people have viewed you," but only Sam and Carl show up of those four. (Of course, you will also have a bunch of guys who saw your profile before Sam and Carl etc.)
What I'm not sure of is how long people remain in the "who's viewed you" line up. The guy who is now at the bottom of my list of people who've viewed me was not the first to view me (I actually remember this guy because we exchanged messages for a bit.) and so I am thinking that there is some sort of "scroll off" of names/profiles.
We're only guessing, however. I doubt Match wants us to know.

I have been on Match for about 3 years and have always wondered about this myself. Taking my thoughts and all of yours, here's how I think it is structured.
For the order of profiles, when you log on, the default choice for "Who's Viewed Me" puts the person who has viewed you most recently at the top (except if you change the dropdown choice to 'Original Order', 'Newest Profiles First', etc.).
If you remove someone from your searches, this takes the person's profile out of the order completely and shifts the entire list up by one.
If someone has their profile turned off when they look at yours, the number of views increases on your end but the person's profile doesn't appear in the queue with all of the others.
In terms of expiration or profile removal from the "Who's Viewed Me" queue:
A.) If you have the display option as "View as Photo Gallery" (3 rows of small profile snippets), Match cuts the profiles off at 34 pages which caps the total # of profiles at 510.
B.) If you have the display option as the default (1 row of wider profile snippets), Match cuts the profiles off at 50 pages which caps the total # of profiles at 500.
Depending on how you set up your display option in the "Who's Viewed Me" section, you'll only see up to 500-510 profiles in this queue since there is a cap. Some people see less than 34 or 50 total pages because they haven't gotten to the max/cap yet (i.e., they're new, don't live in a highly populated city, etc.). But if you stay on the site long enough, you'll see how it plays out.

So in order for the 500 profile pics to not get dropped off they must have to view you again. Like I have 1740 views on mine and 500 profiles showing. I realize if someone looks at your profile the number goes up but another profile of them is not added . But still thats 1240 profile views that must just get dropped off unless they view you again to stay in that 500. I wonder if they are hidden when they view your profile if that still keeps them in that 500 as it does increase your number. Kind of makes sense now that I think of it. Must be the other ones that don't look at your profile eventually in time get dropped off. Thanks for your input.
