At the bottom all the user fields are there except Website.
Please make it searchable! I can provide two use cases to support this.
1. Looking for those with websites and low post count to find spammers, enter https:// into the user field and search.
2. Looking for a certain member or company by website.
Thanks!

I second this. Such feature is desperately needed.
My forum is getting swamped by profile spammers and filtering them out is a tedious work. MyBB offered a simple way to define a custom user search filter, but this doesn't seem to be possible here (especially for the website filed).

Exactly. Spammers use website and about me the most. Simple acp searches can bring up their profiles except for the fact, these fields do not exist in acp.

I'm currently working on an add-on that has this and the about (you) added to the user search, it may not be a core feature, but it's something:

This is definitely a needed feature for the core...

We have noticed that some forums using our AMPXF addon that also have user profiles with "broken" website values like http:// or https:// which are problematic for AMP validity, so each post/thread a user like that has written on, won't show up in google results as AMP..

Those types of users could easily be fixed by running a batch update to search for exact match http:// or https://

The other case of course is to find spam accounts for those that use blackhat SEO and build profile links..

Batch Update User Website

@Brogan @Kier @Mike feel free to take whatever is in my code in that addon and throw it into the next version of XF, it is basically a copy of the username search criteria..

Just installed and deleted a bunch of spammer accounts. Thanks a ton for this!
 
this has gotten really bad on my site.
almost every new user had a porn site in their website field.
i was shocked that this was not a searchable field since it is not able to be disabled.
