Hi,
I think this might be a bug on the search module located under 'People' tab of the social network:
When a superuser searches using some keywords, everything is fine, search proceeds as 'AND' (I know about the update, I refer to fields that are not in the updated search type and to 1.3.12). If no one meets all the criteria search finds no one. Now when a regular user searches using the same parameters, no matter what, the searching user will see himself in any search result. On top of it, the search does not function as 'AND', instead it functions as a weird 'OR':say you search using keywords in two fields, one field below the other. If your search criteria in the upper field is met, it does not matter what happens in the field below - the search will show users that meet your search criteria in the upper field. Contrary, if the criteria in the upper search field is not met and the search should have found users in the lower field - it won't.
This is very weird and should be taken care of. I would be ok if the regular users would be able to get the same search output as superuser does, otherwise it is very misleading.
Thanks.
