What’s new in Pie Register Profile Search 1.6.8

What it does
Community sites and membership platforms often collect plenty of user profiles but give people no easy way to find each other. This add-on fills that gap for sites already running Pie Register. Members can look up other users by name, email or custom criteria, and administrators can turn on a default member directory that lists registered users in an organized way, so visitors can browse the community without hunting through pages.
Configuration happens in a dedicated Profile Search Settings section. From there you decide where search results appear, what user information shows up, and how the profile result pages look. You can limit searching to logged-in users and hide specific people from results by username or by role. Users can also adjust their own search settings, which helps them narrow results to the members they want to find.
Best for
- Community websites already using Pie Register
- Membership sites that need a searchable member directory
- Administrators who want control over profile visibility

Questions about Pie Register Profile Search
Does this work without the Pie Register plugin?
No. It is an add-on built specifically for the Pie Register registration plugin, so your site needs Pie Register in place. The search and directory features work with the user profiles that Pie Register manages.
Can I keep certain members out of search results?
Yes. You can exclude specific users by their usernames, or exclude whole groups based on their assigned roles. This is handy for hiding administrators, staff accounts or any members who should not appear in the directory or search.
Can I stop logged-out visitors from searching profiles?
Yes. There is an access control option that restricts profile search to logged-in users only. That keeps member information private from anonymous visitors and can encourage people to register so they can browse the community.
What can users search by?
Users can search for profiles by fields such as name and email, as well as custom criteria. Members can also personalize their own search settings to find the people most relevant to them.
Is Pie Register Profile Search free?
The code of Pie Register Profile Search is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Pie Register Profile Search is this?
