Feedbacks on advance search

Do you want to be a part of the contributing community? Let us know what you think should be included or revamped in the upcoming Advance Search for JomSocial 2.2

When we first added Advance Search into JomSocial, our initial goal was to allow users to have more flexibility and control over their search results.

It allows any user on the site to perform search through the custom fields that were created on the site. Based on the fields created by the admin, the user can then refine their search criteria.

After having a lot of feedback's from the forums, it does seem like adding criteria manually is pretty tedious and some also wants to have the criteria listed out by default.

In the back end, you will now be able to set specific fields to be search-able. Based on these fields, only fields that is marked as search-able will only be displayed in the search form.

On top of that, we are also planning to add in an optional new search view which will display a list of search criteria by default.

This is a new optional search view which only allows user to search certain fields which is based on the new search-able option.

Let us know if you have any thoughts or ideas on how we can further enhance or revamp our existing advance search.
