   Hi ... my problem is that the search function does not find any user names when the user have not posted yet. Is it possible to modify the search function that I can get an positive result?

   Thank you for your help - anywhen

   Does the search function search the user table at all? I don't seem to get any "matching users" results.

   I think the search function search only "recent post" and "overall post" - so it is impossible to find users who do not have post already. But where can I customize what fields the search function should analyse?

   When ever a user have post a message the search function gives result of his username in a search ...

   I want to try to explain a little bit more: I looked at the tables in the MySQL Database (bbpress only install - not WP integration) - in the table "bb_users" are some fields like "user_login", "user_nicename" and many more ...

   My problem is that the search function does not give me any results if I search for a user name (user_login) or for example "user_nicename" - and at this time I think it is unrelevant if the user have post something or not. Seams that this fields are not in the search include only the topic or the content of a post is relevant for the search function ...

   My question is: How can I modify the search that these fields are also relevant for the search?

   Thank you very much for help ...

   Unfortunately the search feature in bbPress is very poor. It can't be (easily) modified like you are asking.

   I've been working on a search replacement but it won't be released for awhile:

   Note that you can see all posts by a user in their profile.
