Lost wildcard-capability on the Include field

  • I used to be able to put something in the Include field and all that started with that value (but could be loner) where returned.
    For example if I put “shirt” in the include field it used to return all the entries that had “shirtwhatever””shirtsomething” “shirtanythingthatstartedwithshirt”. Is there maybe a wildcard-character that I could use on the include field?

    Lol – most folks regarded that as a bug.

    a realtime search will do a wildcard type search. eg:
    https://directories.wpusersplugin.com/simple-user-list/?su=test

    But for designing a list or report:
    If one knows ahead of time that one needs to report on a subset of users, then it’s generally a good idea to tag or categorise users by a field that one can do a db query on.

    If you have a field with a known limited set of values and were just using the ‘bug’ to not have to enter each value, then the fix is easy, just enter each value separated by comma’s (no spaces)

    eg: in the include field:
    shirtmaker,shirtseller,shirtdesigner

    IF you were trying to preselect users based on what’s in a free text field for a report/list, then I’d very much suggest you’re doing it wrong ??

    OK thank you, that clarifies and activating real-time search is a good “work around” for the usage I have and will work for the end-user as well.
