Plugin Settings Click on the Buddypress search settings to open the configuration settings for the Free BuddyPress search plugin. The default BuddyBoss search only allows for age search by using date of birth range, which I found to be cumbersome and unintuitive. In addition Andrea, the plugin author, is super helpful and quick with replying to questions and issues in the support thread.

If you are looking for a better member search than the default BuddyBoss option, then I highly recommend this. Great support and developer is very helpful. Fully works with all my plugins including Buddyboss platform and theme. Does more than I expected and covers everything I need! Easy to use and highly extensible. Support is insanely good. Highly recommend for anyone in need of this type of functionality.

Once you have created the new form you will need to add the fields that you wish to search, this will create your search form as it will be displayed on the Members page. There is a handy option to have one input field that searches all of the BuddyPress Extended Profile fields.

Once you have set up the form there are some other settings for the search that you will need to attend to. You will need to choose if you want to add this page to the Directory Members Directory. You might also wish to choose if you want the user to be able to toggle display the input form or just display it by default. This is useful when you have a large number of input fields in your search and you wish to hide those fields from cluttering up the members directory until they are needed.

There is also the option of the kind of search that is performed — exact match or close match. Once this new form is saved then it will be displayed at the top of the Members Directory and your members will be able to search all or selected profile fields when they are performing a member search.

An additional feature of the plugin is the shortcode which means you can display the search form on any page or post. Support is also included for member type fields. Overall I found this plugin to be reasonably straightforward. I give this plugin 9 out of 10 due to the ease that it integrates itself into the members page.

I've been setting up and managing BuddyPress social networks for a few years. I moved from Ning and other platforms and have come to BuddyPress looking to make sites with similar features to them.
