UsersWP Advanced Search

Description

The Advanced Search addon adds refined filters to the UsersWP search form, allowing locating profiles by custom fields in the registration such as city, profession, age, gender, and any other field defined in the signup. It is aimed at those maintaining member directories, professional networks, or thematic communities in UsersWP who need visitors to find specific profiles without browsing through the entire user listing.

Main Features of Advanced Search

• Filters by custom fields
  Enables search by any field registered in the UsersWP signup form.
• Visual form builder
  Admin panel to choose which fields become filters and in what order they appear.
• Range filters
  Numeric ranges and date selectors with start and end for quantitative fields.
• Widget and shortcode
  Inserts the search form in sidebar, page, or post via ready shortcode.
• Integration with user listing
  Results appear directly in the default UsersWP listing template, no extra template needed.

Benefits of Advanced Search

• Scalable navigable directories
  Visitors find specific profiles even in databases with hundreds of registrations.
• Increased engagement time
  Useful filters boost profile exploration and community engagement.
• No external search plugin
  Everything remains inside the UsersWP ecosystem, no additional dependencies.
• Code-free configuration
  Form setup is done through the panel, without editing theme files.

Who is Advanced Search for?

• Those who maintain directories of professionals (lawyers, doctors, consultants) with profiles filled via UsersWP.
• Thematic communities needing to segment members by interests, location, or age range.
• Those operating professional networks or online clubs who want visitors to locate contacts by concrete registration attributes.

How to Download Advanced Search

Advanced Search is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the .zip and activate. New search options will then appear within the UsersWP settings, ready to be associated with the desired form.

For directories with dozens or hundreds of registrations, the default name search becomes insufficient, and this addon changes the game: by exposing each custom field as a filterable criterion, it transforms UsersWP into an attribute-segmentable directory, bringing the experience closer to what is seen in professional portals and service provider marketplaces.
