My site help people connect with similar exam dates.

All users in there profile have there exam date visible but used search function to find users by there exam dates, it only show a drop down of 5-6 users but when searched it shows the search from the topics. The search function is able to recognise the specific details from user’s profile details but it can only produce results for username searches.

I hope this makes sense.
