    He’s creating various fields Profile to customize my BuddyPress. (Admin -> Users -> User Fields)

    When you go to see a profile those fields become links and if you clic above displays the profiles that have that field.

    The problem is that the results are not accurate and are displayed prifoli both with the field that does not.

    Why? It happens to you?

    Default behaviour is to search through values of all profile fields for the search term.
    So if someone has entered ‘london’ in ‘city’ field and you click on it, the search result doesn’t only contain members who have entered ‘london’ in ‘city’ field. It’ll also return members who have entered ‘london’ in any of profile fields.
    That’s what makes you see the result set as inaccurate i guess.

    You can control this somewhat with this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

    Underneath each profile field, you just need to explain the square brackets thing. Example:

    Connections Profile Field:

    Use this field to share other interests you think may be of interest to the community. Words or phrases in your profile can be linked to the profiles of other members that contain the same phrases. To specify which words or phrases should be linked, add square brackets: e.g. “I enjoy [BMX] bikes and [ballet]. I play [guitar].” If you do not specify anything, phrases will be chosen automatically.
