Nityananda Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 To start off with I would like to say that I think the search is a hell of a lot better than it was in 3.0 and I like the interface in the way it is working. HOWEVER lol .... (always a but) ... I think the member search is confusing. IMO the majority of the time that someone types something into the search box when selecting member, they are going to enter a username. If they do so they are going to get no results as it does not search that field. Suggestion: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have it search the username & displayname fields also, and in addition to this can we have it search any previous displaynames. The reason I ask this is thinking of the reasons I would search in members as a user.I want to search for a users profile and cant be bothered looking through member list.As a moderator a member is being spoken about quite a lot within profiles and is causing issues on my forum, so I want to see everywhere the person has been mentioned.A member has changed there displayname, but I cant for the life of me remember what it was changed to, so I will search for it.Any other examples welcome :)
Rikki Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Yeah I agree with you - we should probably also make the username/display name search the default selection, rather than profile comments.
3DKiwi Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Add my vote as well. At the very least change it to say "Profile comments". 3DKiwi
ParkEast Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Here's a fix for the "member search" option to make the default NOT "profile comments".
