Search Function Not finding users

Search Function Not finding users was created by LSK6453
After my recent upgrade to CB 1.2 RC4, when I type a user's name into the search box, the results come back as not found. This is for all users.

Can anyone assist me with this?

Thank you

I have found that my users used to have first name and last name in the profile, now it is just name

so, I cannot search by someone's first name or last name, just their full name..

This is also the case for me. After a brief test, I found that when searching by Name, users with only one word for their name seem to be found just fine, but users with more than one word ("John Doe") are not found.

Please check to make sure "First and Last Name Field" is selected via Community Builder Configuration on General tab next to "Name Style".

Then check your fields to ensure the first name and last name fields are published while the name field is unpublished.

I have found it has to be an exact mach to the name

First & Last

search for Mark Jones will show the profile of Mark Jones.

But a search for Mark or a search for Jones will yield no results.

RC 3 allowed you to do searches on partial names..

I sort of like that and find this more intuitive for a search.

Any hints on how I can get that back.

Besides this no other issues

(well except for the dropdown of lists missing but that has been addressed in teh forum already)

Thanks again for a great update!
