cb search bot - searchable fields

cb search bot - searchable fields was created by baiada_helpdesk
Hello
I recently installed the cb search bot for using the Joomla search to search the cb directory and it is working great except for one thing. I can't search using whole names.
e.g. I can search for "John", and I can search for "Smith", but if I search for John Smith Nothing comes up. I even tried enabling formattedname as a searchable field through phpmyadmin. But it didn't make a difference.
Is there any way to remedy this?
attached is a screenshot of my cb fields
Thank you

Try enabling the name field for searching - see if that works.

Thanks for the reply, Name is already set as searchable, but it is not published, due to my config settings I am guessing (screenshot attached). So I am not able to select it in the fields option in the CBsearchbot.

hmm,

I am guessing then that you cannot do this directly.

Maybe try and create a new delimiter field ([firstname] [lastname]) and place the field in a tab that is published in a not for profile show position and try and set this as searchable.

It might work.

Hi Nick

No go with that either, any delimiter field created has searching set to no and you are not able to change it. And as before forcing it on through phpmyadmin doesn't make any difference.
