CB Search Plugin for Joomla 1.5

I am having a bit of trouble with the search plugin. All I want to search on is firstname and lastname. If I put just these two in the plugin, it still searches by username. I even put username into the exclude list and it still searches on username.

Any ideas?

my concern is it is letting registered users search for and find adminsitrators and managers

Can we filter those out so people can only search for others at their same perms level otheriwse a bit dangerous but love it so hope you have a fix for that

great plugin

I managed to successfully install the plugin and its working very well except to one exception... I am unable to search under email field. I have tried removing the email from Blacklist of searched fields via the plugin section. However it keeps appearing again. I have made email field as search-able. However I am still unable to do a search via email. Can someone assist me? Thank You prior to the solution.

Yours Sincerely,
Harris

I think I just solved the issue. I edited the .php file to include
$colnames[] = "u.email";
It works perfectly to my needs. Thank you for making such a plugin.

"*Two Thumbs Up* I would have given 7 Thumbs if I had enough."

this search works well and returns good results.

however,

Profile images must be supported.
(nobody like text)

search results must be structured instead of one giant line.
(impossible to read)

needs module
needs a way to integrate to CB userlists
needs a way to display in a grid instead of one giant column.


me:
j- 1.5.14
cb 1.2.2
cb Adv.searchPlug - 1.0


If there is a newer version that adresses these issues, please inform me.

Good plugin, better than stock CB, but still lacking in so many ways.

address these issues and I am willing to pay money for this plugin!

An updated PAID version will make you RICH!
