Is that ability to search a custom field available in SMF2? I need this for admin search for members by 'x' custom field. I did some searches in the community but got mixed answers with some people saying there was a select option to search by custom field - is that a mod or something available in SMF1?
I am hoping I will not have to custom code with a join to the smf_themes table.
I found this but is not working with the latest version, I need this mod too.

Please take a look at this manual and see if you can install that mod on your SMF version:
How can I install a mod that doesn't work in my SMF version? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_I_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version)
wait up !, for the "Search Focus Dropdown", this is more like it: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1634
i use both, actually but that's because i never got around to removing mod=2566.
That mod does not search for the custom profile fields.
apologies, i didn't take that in when i read it ... so how does this forum have those nice dropdown options then ?
It is some custom code
i figured that, much like how you handle your adverts etc.
do you package the code up as mods but that remain proprietary ?
if so, why not share that code either as a default feature or as an installable Package ?
At this time the team does not wish to release such code.
AHA !! just as i suspected, you guys are keeping all the good code to yourselves ;)
hell, i'm just grateful for the code that you DO release.
all good ... i won't pursue it any further and the mod i recommended can always be modified to come closer to what the OP wants, i guess that's one option.
