Thanks for the reply,

When I try this

function getCustomMembersForm(){
return '<form> .... </form>';
}

I get this error
unexpected ‘<‘ in xxx\functions.php on line xx

Could anyone help me with this matter, I know it hasn’t been long time but its kind of urgent

Thanks everyone.

@shanebp thank you for the reply.

I have researched the plugins that allow the searching for members and I found that this plugin is great but unfortunately the requirements of my client need a lot more customization and I find the documentation of buddypress much more helpful.

About the:
xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = 'array' )
I think using that in a Query would be very expensive as it would require doing more database transaction over the search transaction. Am I right?

The wild card seems like a decent way to go with it, I think I will try that 🙂

Thank you.
