how to Search profile type in drupal 7 I created a profile type for users to upload their data using fields and I want other users (registered or anonymous) to have access to a search form and they can search for anything on any user's profile (name, jobtype, gender, etc) 
if a another user searches for a string in job search, the entire information should be accessible?
I have an idea. This can be done by "Webform". Use a form as user profile, and set limit 1 form per user in "Form settings". Then use "Permission per webform" to make this form access webform results for all user. To display in search, it can simply be done by Views.



Update: another idea I found is to use "View profiles permissions". This module provides permission to view user profiles depending on what roles the profile requested to be viewed.
