I have done a search as best as possible here to see if this issue had been requested or addressed before with no luck.
Adding LOCATION to the members search tool......
On a forum board I administer, many of the members have asked if there was a way to do users searches for locations since the board covers all the U S. Although admin finds it usefull to search my e-mail, position and name, location would also be valueable. In fact messenger name and website have much less use for any search on a day to day forum board. However, on the next release or update I think everyone would find it useful to have that param included.
Looks like this is now implemented here... Is this an official 2.0 feature or just something done for these boards specifically? It doesn't appear in the 2.0 feature list I saw, but that could be incomplete/out of date.
My users have a lot of confusion about the scope of their searches, so this would definitely be a very handy feature.
