I'm not sure if this is designed behavior, or a bug, but if you leave all fields blank and do NOT check the ignore paramaters, it will retrieve all members. This is in UBB 6.2.1.1

Thats by design. Most search features that have many parameters take a blank as being a "wildcard"

If you think about it, if it were any other way, you'd have to enter something into EVERY field to retrieve ANY results. Obviously that would be ackward, so basically blanks are "any value in the the realm of possible values"

Hope this helps!

Just wanted to check <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I wasn't 100% sure if that was the designed behavior.

(FYI - I checked the relevant code in cp_users.cgi. There's an explicit if (no params) then skipprocess=1 statement. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

An even more official word:

The search is exclusionary - if you enter no terms, the UBB has nothing to filter users *OUT* based on, so it shows all of them.
