indirect search by existing array

Hello,

thanks for the greate plugin.

It is possible to create an indirect / implicit search field which uses an existing array?

For example:
In the profil the user can enter his country of residence. e.g. UK

Now I can search by the field “country of residence” as a dropdown list all members from UK.

Works great.

The addional thing would be to search by continents uses such an array. Or you may know a better solution.

So there is an addional search field where I enter the continent as freetext or as dropdown list.

If I enter “europe” in the search field all members with country of residence in europe are displayed. From Albania to UK.

The same for Asia, Nort America etc.

$continents[‘europe’] = array(
“Albania”,
“Andorra”,
…
“Switzerland”,
“Ukraine”,
“UK”);

$continents[‘north_america’] = array(
“Antigua and Barbuda”,
“Bahamas”,
…

Thanks a lot for your help.

Greetz,
Nils
