Hi there,

I wrote a module to do an extended search of the user profile information as per feature request /node/view/4636

This module parses the extra information created by the module profile.module in the "data" column of the users table. There are no database changes. To install just put in the modules directory as per the INSTALL file.

The code can be downloaded here www.phpdf.com/drupal/searchuser-latest.tgz

The module works fine on our production site - but (a) I've not tested in on databases besides MySQL and (b) I'm still learning the intricacies of Drupal so I classify this as Beta code. I welcome all interesting comments/improvements.

Thanks,
Afan

I haven't looked at the code but it would be nice (better) if this kind of functionality could be incorporated in the existing profile module. If you are willing to work towards this, I'll check your code and assist you as time permits.

It would be fairly straightforward to incorporate it into the existing profile module. It would in-fact be preferable as it would make it easier to distinguish between information marked public and private.

If you've downloaded the tar file already (Jan 2, 9:00 AM CST = 3:00 pm GMT) - please re-download - I left a "DEBUG" line in the code that is now removed.

I don't check the drupal site that often now - if you want to contact me, the best way is via e-mail. My email address is:
