How to search for usernames using a placeholder?

Is there a possibility to search for a user using a placeholder? (in the Admin section)

example: my search "Mike%" should get these results:

Mike Skinner
Mike Jackson
Mike Jordan
...


hope there is a way to do that..
thanx

If you modify bb_admin.php and locate the section

elseif ($searchus=='email' OR $searchus=='login'){

there will be an SQL request with a condition

$whatx,'=',$whatus

so you will need to modify it a bit...

$whatx,' like ', '%'.$whatus.'%'

seems like that doesn't work... i always get 0 results..

here's the whole line:

if($row=db_simpleSelect(0,$Tu,$dbUserId.','.$dbUserSheme['username'][1 ].','.$dbUserDate.','.$dbUserSheme['user_password'][1].','.$dbUserShem e['user_email'][1],$whatx,'like',$whatus.'%')){



what could be wrong?

Forgot to mention - you should search, not entering '%' sign in the search term itself. If you modify the code, it will find the names automatically by a fragment... If you enter 'Mike', it will find 'Mike Skinner', 'Mike Jackson',
'Mike Jordan'.

I often need this myself and probably will implement something like this in the next releases.

hmm, it gives me 0 results too. good feature, though.

i always get 0 results... any idea what could be wrong? i searched for users i know that they exist...

mike
Mike
Mike Skinner

none of these search terms would work... :(

Oh well, sorry. 'like' should contain spaces on both side. I've fixed the code above, try again. It works 100% on my side.

works! is it possible to do this for members list addon?

Well, I'll think about it :-)

works great.. thank you very much.
