Description

Description

I am asking to add another option for profile search to detect spam users in the forum... This word should be searched on profile page of the users (in full name, website, and about me sections)...

Research direction

Start by locating the ACP user-search entry point and the code that exposes profile fields such as full name, website, and About Me. Review the linked community forum reference for the intended profile scanner behavior. Done means the ACP search can find users when the queried words occur in those specified profile sections, with the existing search behavior preserved.
