[SOLVED] User list search all fields

[SOLVED] User list search all fields was created by opensaucesystems
I would like to be able to use one search box to search all searchable fields.

My use case is, users have fields that show what food they like for starters, mains, desserts. They want to search for all users that like "cheese" which would show user list that has cheese in the different fields e.g.

starters: garlic bread with cheese
mains: steak and vegetables with cheese sauce
dessert: cheesecake

is this possible?

You can use our CB Search Bot to use Joomla search module to search multiple fields at once. Aside from that, no, you'd have to develop a new CB fieldtype plugin to provide such a feature.

I've done a quick hack using CB Auto Actions that runs a SQL update that concat_ws the fields I want to search, into another field.

It's not elegent or efficent but as a quick solution, it works.
