This hack was requested by , originally in the service forum, but I've decided to release it no-charge on vBulletin.org.
The idea is simple, and quite unique. From the AdminCP, currently you can set certain member profile fields to be used as conditions via the http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/memberlist.php?do=search.
Well, that's good if you are looking for members. What if you want to find posts by members who have those profile fields?
This hack will allow you to search for exactly that.
A new option via the edit profile fields page in your AdminCP will allow you to set a field to "Searchable via Advanced Forum Search," and then that field will be open as an optional condition on the advance forum search.
For more clarification, see the screenshots attached.
It's very easy and quick to install.

Notes
- Caching is not enabled (the process of retreiving/storing searches in the database), because profile field conditions are almost limitless, there isn't much a need. Only when one provides values for the profile fields, is caching disabled.
- Read these instructions carefully! There are many steps, and you don't want to mix them up. When it says above, place above! When it says below, place below! And for replacing, be sure to replace!
Enjoy the modification.
