Search members by custom profile fields

[a33]

I would like to be able to include some profile fields in the main members search...
Is this possible?
When i looked i found this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=35423&highlight=Search+members+by+custom+profile+fields) but i cannot download the txt file .....not sure why
Is it what i am looking for?

This is a standard vb feature. Have a closer look at the profile field manager in your admin cp.

Do they have to be in the same "User Profile Field Categories"?

You forgot your glasses somehere, right? ;)

"Field searchable on memberslist - Yes or No"

You should be able to categorize them to your liking.

yes i got that ..... :cool: glasses now on
Maybe i am explaining badly

If a member searches for say london I would like it to search Location / bio / username / job title /key skills... all In one go

It is currently only searching the search field they type the search in....

Oh, sorry. I should better go to the doctor and get some glasses for myself. I don' think you can do that in vbulletin. You need custom code. The mod you linked looks like it is doing what you intend to do, but it is for a very old version. It is most likely not compatible with vb3 or later.
