Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The one thing that the profile module has that members seems to lack is a way to search for a subset of users based on profile (or user) fields.
It would be great to be able to search on the user list tabular, sortable interface.
A search similar to profiles (ie, www.site.com/members/profile_field/searchtest) would be fine.
An actual search box, with the ability to search on any field, would be ideal!

JasonDiceman commentedAn advanced search of members fields seems quite necessary to me. Drop-downs for lists, general search and search within field.
I have project funds I could direct to any developer who can make this happen.
Walkah? Others?

edrupalec commentedJason,
this seems like a good idea. What's happening with it? It would seem like a good idea to post this under "Paid Development."

jimfrenette commentedI was able to get this to work by patching the profile.module per http://drupal.org/node/28325
Here is a snippet of the patch desrciption:
---------------------------------
Users with "access user profiles" privileges can search all public profile fields, while users with 'administer users' privileges can search both private and public profile fields.
Search results display username (as a link) along with a snippet of the user's profile.
---------------------------------
I am also working on a filter so various profile fields can be filtered in the list. I have over 1600 members on one of the drupal sites I host for a client and need this for them. With the filter, they can select a letter from the aphabet to list only last names in the profiles beggining with the selected letter. I got this to work also, but a bug exist when the column name sort is applied. Also, this does not work with the pager yet. ...Still working on it.
