How can I enable a directory of members? I’d like it to be searchable by a few criteria such as keyword, location, first name, last name, etc. For reference, my site can be located at [http://discuss.smalltoday.com](http://discuss.smalltoday.com) ---

I believe there was a plugin for this at one point, maybe check the plugins category? ---

There does not seem to be a plugins category… ---

There is currently a “user directory” plugin with limited, but valuable functionality. See this thread: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseuserdirectory-experimental-user-directory-plugin/4301](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseuserdirectory-experimental-user-directory-plugin/4301) And here is the GitHub: [https://github.com/www2014/discourse\_user\_directory](https://github.com/www2014/discourse_user_directory) I’m also attaching two screen shots so that you can see what it looks like. Remember that you have to add a new link to your menu: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/2/f28b048e0ec6dff6386df184cf5dd47e01885626.jpg) And here is what the main directory page looks like: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/1/e126504d0eeb18f8162d53a59361f2b72123a2ac.jpg) ---

Good news, the user directory feature ships in Discourse 1.3! And includes searching. ---
