ISSUE SUMMARY:

Friends suggestion module doesn't work properly when matching criteria from checklists with more than one option.

Our users on registration indicate their preferred discussion topics in a checklist.

For example:

Please check your preferred topics:

- volleyball
- football
- handball
- rugby
- badminton
- cricket
- table tennis

Although checklists in the friends suggestions module can be selected for matching, the way how this is done does not really make sense. Persons are suggested as friends only if ALL criteria do match, while it should be ANY.

For example, if I select volleyball, rugby and badminton, the module in a million years doesn't return any friends suggestions, due to the simple fact that the likelihood for such a case is close to zero. Friends suggestions should be made if ANY of the criteria match. ALL in case of checklists doesn't make sense at all.

Appreciate any solutions for this problem.

Randolph
