Using Short Text Box Fields as Filters
Short text box field types can be used as search filters, when added by the administrator in View People Preferences. This field type may appear in the OU, Performance, and Attributes filter sections.
When this type of field is selected as a filter, options will be available for Starts With, Contains, or Exact so that you can enter a value that would have been entered by the user when completing the field.
For example, a user filled out a career preferences question titled "Where are you willing to relocate?" The user entered "Beijing" as his response. You can use the Starts With option and enter beij* so that you are more likely to return results for Beijing. You could also use the Exact option and enter the full city name. Or, you could use the Contains option and enter *jing.
The search allows you to carry out multiple searches by providing multiple search terms. For example, you would like to search for users with a Finance or Economics degree. You would enter the search term for Finance, and then add a second parameter for Economics.
The field accepts up to 50 characters.
