Default account type on search page | Forum

I have 2 account types set up:
1 - Bands
1 - Fans
each with separate questions.

The default Search page displays a dropdown menu with:
- "Select Account Type" and
- ALL questions from BOTH account types.
This is very confusing at first glance.

What I want to do is:
1 - Eliminate "Select Account Type" from the dropdown menu.
2 - Make either account type the default dropdown menu item.
3 - Display only the questions for that default account type.

It works properly when you actually select an account type. I just want one of the account types to be the default item.

I realize modifications will be overwritten on updates.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Joe, you will need to reconstruct the main search form, so the form received parameter of the certain account type and output the list of questions which belong to this account type. The changes should be made in the /ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/user_search.php file.

Joe, did you ever get your search form modified to your satisfaction?

No, I gave up on it.
