To clarify. I upgraded to the newer version but it hasn't made a difference to the search problem. The search problem remains the same as with the previous version, i.e. search 'male' it returns results for all members including female, search 'female' it returns results for just female members.

Try changing the field names to just "M" and "F" I was having the same problem and just tried to work around it and this seems to be working at the moment. Might be a fundamental problem the characters M A L E appearing in both MALE and feMALE. thus, seraching for MALE would return all entries and searching for female would return the women.

This will happen if you're using Simply Any for your list as indeed Male is contained in Female. It's recommended to use language strings so you can display Male and Female, but the database will use something as _GENDER_M and _GENDER_F for example.
