Fields Privacy Problem

    I’ve made a phone number field for users to fill in the registration form and it’s set to be private and invisible to everyone. But when another visitor searches a phone number in user search, then the associated account to that number is shown in the results. How to prevent this privacy problem?

    This is a knowed bug, a bit forgotten over the time (2 years back !).

    @imath     will look at this this week-end.

    Follow the ticket to see progress, and eventually give feedback if asked for. Login on Trac uses same credentials as here.

    That said, in your specific example, if a visitor knows the phone number of a registered user and try to search him on your site using that number, guess the relation between both is nearly familiar, so privacy is not a big problem, at least for them. 🙂
