Weird search oversight on all mybb forums

[Michael2014]

I noticed that there is a search oversight on all mybb forums.

Here is the issue. When looking at member listing, there is a search bar that has the letters A-Z, you can quick search by clicking on a letter to see members with names that start with that letter,

But what about users whos name starts with a number. Example: 420man

The problem is, there is no way to quick search names that start with numbers because the search bar is only A-Z, what about 0-9?

I don't get the oversight on this.

Hey Michael,
I am not able to see this issue, it is working fine with latest MyBB version. (1.8.17)
Are you using a custom page ?

[.m.]

though links are not available, search for numbers & other characters also works

https://community.mybb.com/memberlist.php?username_match=begins&username=n

eg. member names beginning with number 9 ; beginning with . ; beginning with ! ; begins with 420 ... ...

Look at any forum anywhere, and look at the member list. You will see what I mean

why does mybb not have a link to search members for (0-9)?


I'm not complaining at all, for something that is free, it is already beyond anything anyone can ask for.

Thanks for the response. I'm sure it will help. Like I said, I'm not complaining because MyBB is giving the people something that is ..... A real gift.

Not a problem to add them

Add them in the memberlist template:

<a href="memberlist.php?username_match=begins&amp;username=4" style="padding: 5px;">4</a>

I can create a PR after work.

Ah, I thought while searching for members on search.php
My mistake

Is it necessary to place all the shortcuts in a single isolated place?
You can not cover all the possibilities of a username in ready made links and place in thead.
This is why there is "Advanced Search" option that covers those all in a compact way.

That's true... however...

You can still accomplish the same thing by doing this...

A-Z, and 0-9 characters are permitted - Detailed search requires "Advanced Search" option

Put that next to the Membership List search box... right underneath it. (or to the side of it)

Short and sweet and covers a lot of the potential usernames that are out there.

Just saying...
