Search not working

for some reason my searches will not return results if its in check box format...if its a radio button it works ok and also text fields...only check box will not return any results...any idea what may be wrong? thanks

Searches where? On a userlist or using Joomla search with CB Search Bot? In backend CB > User Management?

Hey thanks..on the userllist.. if i search by text input or radio buttons then results are showing but if i tick a checkbox then there are no results.

update..with 2 findings in case it helps any...and im still referring to the userlist search criteria fields

1...when i switched the search criteria from (simple exact match ) which does not work.....to (simple any word match) i started getting results in the search.......but i should be finding results with exact match because these are checkboxes with pre selected search terms...

2..the search form does not reset...meaning after i search ...and find results...and then click on search users again...the same options that were ticked are still ticked....any idea how to get the search forms to clear after a search?

Simple exact only finds results if what you selected exactly matches what another user has selected. So if you select 2 checkboxes then it only finds users who also selected exactly those 2 checkboxes and nothing more or less. Simply any can do partial matches and is likely what you're needing.

Click List All under the Search Users button to reset the search.
