Drop-down list field searches don't work

I have the same problem.

I have a list :
- public laboratory
- private laboratory
- distributor

The module only show 'distributor'

Have attached patch which fixes profile field searches for checkboxes, selection drop downs.
Also textareas (multiline text) caused problems by showing a text area for entering the search term which obliterates any divs beneath it. This is also fixed.

I think this is possibly a response to my other patch, which does indeed address a different problem. I uploaded two at the same time, which may have caused the confusion.

The only concantenation in here without spaces around the periods is in the original source, which is why I assumed it was acceptable style and used it in my other patch at http://drupal.org/node/255777

Yes looks tidier. Need to decide what to do with textarea case. In my application I just put up a normal textfield, because people are generally entering a snippet which they are looking for in the longer multiline text. I think this a sensible default- who wants to type in multiline text to do an exact match? What do other people think?

That just leaves freeform list, URL and date types, which I think are all doable but I dont have time right now.

I think the patch you were looking at is at the link above. This fixes a problem with the SQL when you search on more than profile field by refining a search. It also simplifies the SQL by removing an unnecssary clause.
