Search and member list

The application search is another crucial feature of an application. Users need to find information as quickly as possible and hence search features play a vital role in the success of an application. The WordPress built-in frontend search feature is very powerful and easily extendable through custom filters. However, it doesn't search users or user data as it's not a common feature in a normal website. We need to find a way to implement user searching when working in web applications where users play a major role. Applications such as forums, social networks, freelancing sites, and job management are great examples where we need advanced user searching features. Here, we are also discussing the frontend member list as it's something that goes together with search feature to display the results.

In such web applications, we have to look for a custom solution or plugin that offers frontend search and member list features. These features should include user custom field searching, custom search filters, restricting searching to certain fields, and paginated member lists.
