BuddyPress.org

So I am getting my extra user data fields with a line like:
echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:150px;">' , bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),'</div>';
But I would like them to be search links as it is in an individual profile. I have achieved this with

echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:60px;"><a href=', $bp->pages->members, '?s=', bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),' rel="nofollow">' , bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),'</a></div>';

However, I am now also using the plugin Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress, which lets me set which profile fields should not be search links and also allows users to spilt their data up, so a profile field “[ocean] and [coast]” gets two separate search links, one for ‘ocean’ and another for ‘coast’. Neat. It seems to do this by adding a filter to bp_get_the_profile_field_value.

However, my manual addition of search links as above ignores these settings, and any [] in the fields comes through and are visible.

It occurs to me that, rather than fetching the fields with bp_get_member_profile_data(), I would do better to get the data however it is got for the individual profile display, as this method puts the search links in and obeys the options set in Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress. I have spent much of today trying to find how to call bp_get_the_profile_field_value. If I use
echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:150px;">' , bp_get_member_profile_value('field=Ovni model'),'</div>';
I get an invalid link. I suspect it need a data type argument to get a search link. I have tried to find how it is called to display the user profile, but failed to find it. In the BP Codex I have only found how to remove the filter that puts the links in.

If someone could enlighten me it would be most helpful. Thanks.
