 * Hey 🙂
 * First of all, thanks for a great plugin wich actually works, but I need to do
   something special with the search function (don´t we all? :D)
 * Is it possible to make the search page so it has collapsible profile groups on
   the search page?
 * Fex, I have 4 profile field tabs/categories, and need a lot of fields from those
   categories to be searchable, wich is resulting in a extremely long list of options,
   is there a possiblity to do that a little sexier some way?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Danbc,
 * You can build, in a WordPress page, a form that suits your needs (probably using
   some JavaScript to collapse sections of the form).
 * After you build your custom form, you can make it work with BP Profile Search.
   All you have to do is:
 * 1. Use the same form _action_ attribute that BP Profile Search uses (it’s the
   URL of your Members directory page, e.g. _action=’[http://example.com/members/&#8217](http://example.com/members/&#8217);_).
 * 2. Use, for each form field, the same _name_ attribute that BP Profile Search
   uses (it’s something like _name=’field\_xx’_, where xx is the profile field ID).
 * To see exactly what those attributes look like, you can generate a sample form
   with BP Profile Search and look at its HTML source in your browser.

 * Hey Andrea 🙂
 * Thanks for the fast response, but as the non coder user of wordpress, I have 
   no idea what you´re talking about, so will have to find some other way to make
   the search page a bit more sexy if one needs more than a few fields on the search
   page.

 * Hi Danbc,
 * Unfortunately I don’t have a solution ready for what you need, otherwise I would
   have posted it.
 * Anyway if you have a little time to learn some HTML and maybe CSS to tweak your
   site, that could be a rewarding experience.
