SJ77 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If using a select box type for your custom profile field it can't be searched in member list? why not? Search should be able to have a drop down that matches the select box. Select boxes are actually the best for search results because they create consistent data where regular text boxes do not. EDIT: Issue discovered, see following posts for explanation. -- this needs fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 They in fact can. Check on the frontend, they appear there. Select, radio, can be searched. Checkbox (and set), Yes/No cannot. Didn't check them all. But may be an oversight those are not included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see whats going on, NEW select boxes show up on search page. However, if we have had select boxes all along since before custom profile fields were searchable there is NO WAY to get them to show up on the search page. I don't want to make a NEW gender field because I already have several thousand people who have filled out gender. This is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sounds like a bug, in 3.4 even all fields are searchable (from the member list), so they'd have to convert in an upgrade. I'd log it, a ticket would probably be faster. Try resaving the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Tried re-saving the field .. no luck. This should be affecting many other people. I am surprised I am the first to bring this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
