Hello. I use in backend field "Full Name": Name Format: Single Name.
When user register, he fill one field.

Is it OK that system ask me to search (when I "Create new filter") also with First name, Middle name and Last name?

I can't find anyone. May be it doesn't when only "Full Name" is used.

May be First name, Middle name and Last name should be removed from search form if It doesn't used in site? Thanks.

Hey Dmitry,

I suppose if site use name format "Single name" there is not need to display in search area to display "Middle name" and "Last name".
May be there is no need to display "First name" because it has the same result as "Full name"?

That may be true for new users, but for some existing users, they may still have their name under first, middle and last name from last time. And the only way for their name to update is by saving their profile again.

Alternatively, you can use custom css to hide those criteria if you want. For example, if you want to hide the first, middle and last criteria.



.es-adv-search2__condition-item [value="first"], [value="middle"], [value="last"] {

  display: none;

}

Hi Dmitry,

Can you provide us some details about your search so we can test this?

-are you searching as guest user, or a logged in regular user, or as a super user
-search term used
-search criteria selected
-result of your search

Hello.
1) I navigate to All members page and can see user with RealName "Cyber Punk"
2) lets search "Punk" with "contain" only mode (in "Full name" mode).
Result 1: I can find this user when search "Full name" by using "Cyber" or "Punk"
Result 2: I can find this user when search "First name" by using "Cyber" or "Punk"
Result 3: I can't find this user when search "Middle name" by using "Cyber" or "Punk"
Result 4: I can't find this user when search "Last name" by using "Cyber" or "Punk"

I suppose if site use name format "Single name" there is not need to display in search area to display "Middle name" and "Last name".
May be there is no need to display "First name" because it has the same result as "Full name"?

During registration user fill only "Full name".

Thanks.
