 * Is there any way to store meta data for users? It looks like the User_Fields 
   table could handle it but I don’t see any functions to insert it.

 * Hello Tannermccoleman.
 * Do you mean some extra informations for the user when you create the account?
   Like name, address etc?

 * No, I’m looking to store favorite posts and searches. I just need to know if 
   it should be stored in that table or if I should create another table specifically
   for that.

 * I am just a user of this plugin, so maybe the guys who made it can answer you
   better, but I guess that what you want is a bit out of scope of the plugin so
   it be better to create a new table for that. But, as I said, wait the guys who
   made the plugin to approve me or not :).

 * Hi Tanner,
 * The user fields table is used to store the profile fields for users for any fields
   other than the basics. I don’t see any reason why adding columns wouldn’t work,
   but you might want to test it and be ready to drop the extra columns.
