copied!<p>If I understand the question correctly, you've got three name fields and you want a single text box to search all three fields. The easiest way to do this is to combine those three fields into a single field that is not displayed but can be searched using an exposed filter. One option is to use the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle" rel="nofollow">Auto Nodetitle</a> module to make the node title a combination of the three names. (I do this a lot with personnel directories so that a given entry displays as Lastname, Firstname). Then you could search on a the node title in your exposed filter.</p> <p>If using the title is not an option for your project, you could add another field to your content type, eg: full_name, and write a small module to implement <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--node--node.module/function/node_save/7" rel="nofollow">hook_node_save</a> that would simply fill in the full_name field with "first middle last" whenever a node is saved. Then remove the full_name field from the display and use it for your exposed filter.</p> <p>re: graduation year: If you're using a "List (Integer)" field type, that should be no problem. If you're using a plain text field type, that makes things more difficult. If you are using plain text, you may want to redo the field so that you could do cool filters such as "graduated before 1950" type filters or using jQuery sliders to select a range of graduation years.</p> <p>Hope that helps.</p>
