Hi, I think you should apply filters to the queries done by function get_users() :

eg. with my plugin bp-real-names :

when you search a user by “word”, the core query looks like :

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.ID) FROM wp_users u LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID LEFT JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pd.field_id = 1 AND pd.value LIKE ‘%%admin%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC

but I need to be able to change this to

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.ID) FROM wp_users u LEFT JOIN wp_usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID LEFT JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pd.field_id = 4 AND pd.value LIKE ‘%%Smith%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC

This is not possible actually as I see…
