Hello,

Similar to facebook etc, I would like to be able to search for a buddy based on some criteria entered by the user (maybe first name, last name etc). Once found, I want to give the user the option to send the buddy request.

I am using usernode module and I have tried to create a view to provide the searching capabilities, specifically I created an exposed filter in the view to allow the user to enter the text.The problem appears to be that view exposed filter only lets you select from a list of users. It appears that usernode does not allow you type the search criteria.

Any suggestions?

Do you have a userprofile? Do you use nodeprofile? Basically it shoul be no problem to search with views for data, that is stored in a node...

Ok, I see what you mean...

Maybe http://drupal.org/project/views_fastsearch would be a help?
