Search for Business field

Does anyone have any bright ideas for me on this topic.

We're using CB for a business listings (±1000 users). First & Last Name is for individual & we have a Business Name text field (amongst others).
But users are hard to find in CBSubs and CB User manager backend. Admins look for profiles by business name mostly and there is not an easy backend filter / search for a custom CB text field.

Any bright ideas of how I can overcome this issue?

Joomla 2.5.8
CB 1.9
CB Subs 3.0.0

Set name usage within CB > Configuration > General to single name field then rename it within CB > Field Management to Business Name. Now rename your old Business Name field to just Name. Now searching the name field be for searching businesses.

Alternative is just create a CB userlist and add the business name field to it so it can be search. In backend click Advanced Search and search the Name field to have the same affect.

Your first suggestion would be an option, but we need the Name field for First and Last Name.
So a user's Business is almost as important as his Name Field, especially for admins in the backend.

Frontend is fine, we can search by both fields with CB Lists, just need the same ability in the Backend, especially CB Subs.

You can search by your field in CB > User Management by clicking Advanced Search, but this usage isn't anywhere else. Other locations usually allow search by user id, username, name, and/or email.

We have roughly the same setup and were wondering if we can add a column with the business name to the backend CB User Management?

Currently there is Name, UserName, LoggedIn, Subscriptions, etc. - we would gladly give up one of those fields to replace with the business name in our CB database.
Thanks for any ideas,
TK

Not without using API in the same way CBSubs does. Alternative is to edit the current display and replace one of those columns with the output of your custom field, but can't help with that was we don't support core edits.

To extend the User Management with new displays you'll need to use onAfterBackendUsersList (for display) and onBeforeBackendUsersListBuildQuery (for search/filtering if any needed) triggers.
