    Hallo Alex!

    I am having problems with the searches in the admin. Manyor most times the searchbox licked with "Anywhere" does not render any results. Clicking on a field also does _NOT_ always result into results the way it should.

    Is there a way to make it better?

    I noticed on a test installation that I have deleted a user record based on the search result, however the result was wrong and I should _NOT_ have deleted. Hence the searches are misleading.

    I hope that I have not made any mistake in the templates as this may well be the reason, if there are no missing parameters or bugs in this part.

    Not sure what to answer, it works well for me.

    Yes, search should be improved, I agree.

    Hallo!

    The results did _NOT_ render correct in certain circumstances eventhough it did work fine. Things like this becomes evident only if there is a variety of data that needs to be under investigation, scrutiny, etc.

    I have splitted the </form> with correct q and q_where parameters. Since then i see what i want through searches.

    I however think that the SQL queries needs to be improved a bot atleast in terms of type="text" (not just hidden) and with LIKE "%xxx%" possibilities. It was only after implementing this, i was able to find what i wanted!

    So amember is not blind anymore! ;-)
