-specific users account types (company not person)
-users by question in profile (from specific region itp...)

i should:
-sniff the javasript in eg. Firefox firebug DOM
-identify the query
-write a javascipt button sending that parameters

Our search form uses POST method to send data to the server. So, it's impossible to save the search results URL. The only way is developing your own search form using GET method which will allow you to see search parameters and save the URLs.

the url is not obligatory,
only the result listing,
the actual form is: ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/user_search.php ?
would it be possible to modify and link to new form php file?

Yes, you can find all necessary functions in this file.

Yes, it's possible, but we strongly recommend that you create your own plugin and do not make changes in the core files, because when you update your site - all the changes you've made will be lost.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm needing this same requirement. I want to list all of one account type with a menu button. The search function appears to be the best solution, but how do I make one of those menu buttons to be a form post?

you have to send POST data to search form - it submits to itsself (action="")
if you want to search users by account type:
-go to search page (users/search) and check in output html code the vale of that account type, it should look like this:
<option value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">Your account type</option>
than create php file, containing:
<?php echo "Searching...";?>
<form name="MainSearchForm" method="post" action="/users/search" >
<input type="hidden" name="MainSearchFormSubmit" ><input type="hidden" name="accountType" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><input type="hidden" name="form_name" value="MainSearchForm" >
<script language="JavaScript">document.MainSearchForm.submit();</script></form>
(dont forget to replace xxxxxxx with proper value)
place that file in some directory eg. your-directory-name in oxwall root direcotry
(to make it executabe you have to add
additional condition in .htaccess in root oxwall directory:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/your-directory-name/
)
to link to your custom search result page just link to that newly created php file,
that's it, if you want to add some other custom parameters,
use firebug to sniff the POST request and modify the redirection file.
if something is not celar plese dont hesitate to ask,
