Our customers would love to have the ability to search through the members database.
For example: they are looking for other members within the same workfield of with a certain expertise, so they can easily get in touch with them of follow them.

This feature would also be very helpfull to us as the community team:
For example: we can filter members by expertise, get in touch with them, build relationships with them and stimulate user generated content

We are a B-2-B software company. I am curious to see whether other (B-2-C) companies would also consider this feature as valuable.

I think this is an important enhancement request; our members often ask if they can search others and I as community manager would use this capability pretty regularly.  Thank you!

We’re a new customer implementing this month, but this is a very important future enhancement we’d love to see. We have a large need for this use case and will look to other integrations/solutions to solve it. But if it’s added to the Insided road map, it’d be of great value and interest to us. And, of course, we’d love to be involved in any focus groups, beta testing, etc to help if/when this is put in the pipeline. 

FYI: I am no longer active in this community

This is something that our community certainly needs- and is important to our long term involvement with Insided. I get this request from community member constantly, and need to implement it. Is this scoped out?

I’m going to upvote this one on the basis I also see value for it. I sometimes remember usernames more reliably than topics, so being able to locate a thread this way would make my life so much easier.

There’s also a small number of members here who are also present at my home base, so being able to locate them can sometimes be helpful for me.

A feature our beta testers was expecting to have - it will clearly drive engagement.

Any further plans around this? It feels like a basic and common dial tone need that almost all community platforms have. Our members are deeply interested in having access to one and having more effectively ways to send messages to one-another.

I’ve had 2 more requests for this feature since my last post - really need this one! One of our members did say that they would like the ability to opt-in to this directory during registration and in their profile settings...
