 * I have two fields “first name” and “last name” using “User meta” fields…
    searching
   a first name “John” gets a result, searching a last name “Smith” gets a result,
   but if I search first & last name i.e: john Smith , I get “0 members found” how
   do I overcome this so a full name can be searched?

 * Presently the plugin searched one dimensionally. It only matches against an entire
   string. You’d need to look into the /class/members.php file to fundamentally 
   alter the SQL.
