How to modify "Search Bloggers" to look for custom name?

Hello,

We are using EasyProfile's custom field "Display Name" as Author Name in EasyBlog.

Please refer to the following discussion for details:
https://stackideas.com/forums/name-display-format-how-to-retrieve-from-other-table
(I've edited profile.php so that when Name Display Format is set to Nickname in EasyBlog config, EasyProfile's "Display Name" should be retrieved as Author name.)

It's working successfully.
But we have an issue in "Search Bloggers" function.

Will you please advice us on how and what to modify in order to make it search for "Display Name" instead of nickname?


Thanks again for your help,
rikao
You can modify on this file.
JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/models/blogger.php
[gist type="php"]
// LINE 395
$searchQuery = '';
if (!empty($search)) {
$searchQuery .= ' AND ';

switch( $nameDisplayFormat )
{
case 'name':
$searchQuery .= '`name` LIKE ' . $db->Quote( '%' . $search . '%' );
break;
case 'username':
$searchQuery .= '`username` LIKE ' . $db->Quote( '%' . $search . '%');
break;
default:
$searchQuery .= '`nickname` LIKE ' . $db->Quote( '%' . $search . '%' );
break;
}
}
[/gist]
