Feature to disable user group filter in search

[Apfelstrudel]

Hello,

today we found out that in some areas (tag search result in 4.0 and member search in 4.1) a normal user can use the user groups as a filter.

From my point of view the user group list is a sensitive information which I DON'T want to show to the normal user. It shows them which hidden groups I have and maybe in which problematic user groups I put some users.

So this information should definitely be hidden to normal users; or just implement a feature I can choose of.

Thanks in advance.

Ahh, yeah, I don't want my group list exposed publicly either, for the very same reasons you specified.

This is an oversight to privacy. There ought to be an option for admins to disable/hide member groups in (any) search.

Anyone know where in the admin CP where I can deselect certain member groups from being searchable?

Clicking on the member tab, you will notice that any of your custom profile fields that have been set up from the admin CP are also searchable by the system if you have chosen them to be searchable items.

There's no admin cp setting I know of that can disable member groups from being searched.
