How to include specific roles in auto-complete search? I am using the auto-complete module for searches. It works like a charm. I am looking for to learn how to show only specific roles on the results it pulls. There are advanced areas in the configuration and I think something could be used there, yet I am not sure what.
The best way to do this is create a View of the search results you would want. e.g. If you create a view of Users with role, "editor", then Autocomplete can be used to pull only from that view. Using the Filters ability of views, this should be a relatively simple task.
