Allow users to search for other users by name and custom fields?

Post by Pirchen »

Hello

Every user can make a search in forum, on but only on written post text (if I am right...).

Is it possible to search for users by typing their name, even if they have made no posts yet?

I also defined some costum fields for user profiles.
Is it possible search on these fields? Would be great ;) .

Thank you

You can already search for authors.

You can search for users by name from the memberlist. I don't think there is a way to search by profile fields.

Yes, I found the option here (did not know that before).

Having access to profile fields, would be great :)
