    Hi, I am currently using this plugin and it is running pretty well. Although it does not fit what I would like to do and I was hoping you could help me achieve it with this plugin or tell me that it is not posible ;). Here it goes.
    I have to make an user able to search profiles (this is working) so I created my profile fields, my profile search, all good. The problem is, I have multiple fields (23) with multiple choices so it allows the users to fit to a very specific profile and when I do a search, it only displays the profiles that are exactly fitting ALL the criteria (it mostly shows “No members found” since the perfect profile often does not exist) instead of showing the most relevant ones. Is there any way to rank the profiles by order of relevance ? I think this is because the search algorithm was created to make a perfect research and that is ok but is there a line of code to change or an option I did not find to activate in order to do so ?

    Thank you.

    Hi Pierre,

    As you correctly guessed, the plugin now looks for a perfect match.
    Ordering the search results by relevance is in my to-do list, but it’s not
    a simple change.

    PS: I received your email, but I am unable to answer it because of some spam filter on your ISP…

    Yes I figured it would not be very simple. Thanks anyway ??
