Profile search

dixon_ - February 23, 2008 - 11:09

Drupal 6

The Drupal 6 branch offers a complete rewrite from Drupal 5. It now maintains a complete search index over user names and profile fields created with the core Profile module. Note that this doesn't add any search functionality by itself. Here is the minimum of what you need to do if you want any search functionality:

  1. Install the core Search module
  2. Install the Views module
  3. Create a user view
  4. Add and expose the Search: Search Terms filter
  5. Add the Search: Score sort criteria and order by Descending
  6. Add fields and displays for your needs

Or you could create your custom module which implements hook_search().

TODO-list:

  • Create an administrative interface where administrators can decide which profile fields to index.
  • Create an administrative interface where administrators can decide the relevancy of certain profile fields.

Drupal 5

The Drupal 5 branch isn't maintained any more. This version provides a simple block with search and a page for showing the results. It searches profile fields created with the core Profile module.
