Title: Upgrade changed search function Last modified: November 21, 2019 --- # Upgrade changed search function * [austat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/austat/) * (@austat) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-changed-search-function/) * I’ve done the upgrade to Ultimate Member and my database as requested, and now have a single field for my search – is this right!! So previously, as you’ll see on the page, I had search boxes for name, keyword, suburb/town. Members completed these fields based on what they wanted the public to be able to search on. But now it seems we have one field for everything. So if I put in ‘yoga’, before I would have got everyone that wants to be found by someone searching for yoga, now we get anyone who has mentioned the word ‘yoga’ anywhere on their profile. They may not be a yoga teacher or working with yoga teachers, maybe when they were 10 they did a yoga lesson, but they still come up. And then it has ‘more filters’ and comes up with ‘type’ which is the first of the search fields I have in the profile, but only the first. If it came up with the others that would be ok. This page is for finding teachers, but now when you go into ‘type’ you can see all the other ‘types’, select them, and have then come up on the screen. I definitely don’t want ‘students’ to appear when someone is searching for type, this has never been a searchable category. So what are my options – how do I firstly get rid of this ‘type’ search and then bring back the ones I use to have.’ Thanks! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fupgrade-changed-search-function%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [austat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/austat/) * (@austat) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-changed-search-function/#post-12157851) * Found out how to get rid of the ‘type’ thankfully, but very limited range of things to add on.
