User profile Search Module
2houseplague - November 4, 2007 - 01:47
I'm all but resigned to making this from scratch. The goal is to provide search functionality for user profile fields on an existing site with many members, essentially "opening up" all the text contained in these fields to string search. I've had a look around on Drupal.org, but haven't found anything close. My plan is to write a module that will search only user profile fields and return a list of matching member names as links, and maybe grab some surrounding text from the matching field to provide context. I'd hate to invent a wheel that might already exist. Is anyone aware of any related work (modules, hacks, etc) I might have missed but should look at before I begin?
Thanks!

Node Profile springs to
Node Profile springs to mind, but it may require a lot of extra development. I haven't heard about any other modules for profile searches. If it's not in here then it probably doesn't exist yet.
Well, I have a module to
Well, I have a module to share. It's my first, so I'm a little unclear how to go about it. While we wait for someone from headquarters to sort me out on the official way to do this, here are:
1. The README.txt -- http://www.protoncannon.com/sites/all/modules/profile-search/README.txt
2. The RAR to d'load -- http://www.protoncannon.com/profilesearch.rar
3. A simple live demo -- http://www.protoncannon.com/search/profilesearch/dignissimos
Regards and Enjoy User Profile Search!

I've spent the last 5 hours looking for something like this. Has anyone tested it? How configurable is it?

If you don't get an answer here fast enough, test it on a test site

If you ask nicely I'll give you a towel : )
Try this:
The following modules probably work.
Finduser (didn't work when I tried it...): http://drupal.org/project/finduser
Profile Plus: http://drupal.org/project/profileplus
Node Profile Search: http://drupal.org/project/nodeprofile_search
You can also use Views with Nodeprofile or Usernode to get similar, but less accurate, results. (Views search will search an entire nodeprofile/usernode instead of just the fields you want.)
