[Resolved] Google map distance distance filter not working for usermeta

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The new distance filters introduced with Maps 1.4 doesn't work for user meta address fields.

Solution:
Custom search Views are only available for posts, not for users, and so no filters can be added to a Users View, including the distance filter.

Hi Jeffrey

The distance filter is part of the Views custom search functionality to add front-end filters.

This is only available for posts, not user or taxonomy Views.

We have an existing feature request to add custom search to users, and I will add your voice to that request.

Until custom search is added to users, filtering users by distance will not be possible I'm afraid.
