Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 31, 201015 yr 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 :)
March 31, 201015 yr Yeah I agree with you - we should probably also make the username/display name search the default selection, rather than profile comments.
March 31, 201015 yr Add my vote as well. At the very least change it to say "Profile comments". 3DKiwi
August 7, 201014 yr Here's a fix for the "member search" option to make the default NOT "profile comments".
