I will take a look when I have more time… Thanks!

I believe your best chance is to use filters…

I had not thought about this when I created Nobody visibility… You’re right, but I believe I can’t solve it.

I’ve been searching in buddypress code where they do the search and there is no filter to modify the query… So the only way I think will be modify buddypress plugin…

If you want to modify it inside buddypress, the file is:buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes.php. Line 364.

/** Search Terms ******************************************************/

		// 'search_terms' searches the xprofile fields
		// To avoid global joins, do a separate query
		// @todo remove need for bp_is_active() check
		if ( false !== $search_terms && bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) {
			$search_terms_clean = mysql_real_escape_string( mysql_real_escape_string( $search_terms ) );
			$search_terms_clean = like_escape( $search_terms_clean );
			$found_user_ids_query = "SELECT user_id FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_data} WHERE value LIKE '%" . $search_terms_clean . "%'";
			$found_user_ids = $wpdb->get_col( $found_user_ids_query );

			if ( ! empty( $found_user_ids ) ) {
				$sql['where'][] = "u.{$this->uid_name} IN (" . implode( ',', wp_parse_id_list( $found_user_ids ) ) . ")";
			} else {
				$sql['where'][] = $this->no_results['where'];
			}
		}

You need to change the query to avoid searching in the fields with nobody visibility.

Sorry, I don’t understand your question. Can you give me more details?

Have you tried the FAQ

Can I modify how the fields value are showned?
Yes, you can, since version 1.5.4, I have added a filter called “bxcft_show_field_value”. You can use it and modify the value of your fields. For example, if you need to show only the day or month of the birthdate you need to add this code below in the functions.php of your theme:

add_filter( 'bxcft_show_field_value', 'my_show_field', 15, 4);
function my_show_field($value_to_return, $type, $id, $value) {
    $value_to_return = $value;
    if ($value_to_return == '')
        return $value_to_return;
    $value_to_return = $value;
    if ($type == 'birthdate') {
        $value = str_replace("<p>", "", $value);
        $value = str_replace("</p>", "", $value);
        $field = new BP_XProfile_Field($id);
        // Get children.
        $childs = $field->get_children();
        $show_age = false;
        if (isset($childs) && $childs && count($childs) > 0) {
            // Get the name of custom post type.
            if ($childs[0]->name == 'show_age')
                $show_age = true;
        }
        if ($show_age) {
            return '<p>'.floor((time() - strtotime($value))/31556926).'</p>';
        }
        return '<p>'.date_i18n( 'F j' , strtotime($value) ).'</p>';
    }
    return $value_to_return;
}

Hi,

I think the only way to do this will be using javascript, so I’m afraid there is no easy way for now.

I think the same that is said in the ticket. It would be very complicated to create this. I believe it will be better to manually create all fields and put them in a new group of fields.
