blocks/quickfindlist

This block allows users to be found quickly by use of javascript searching.

When it is first added to a page, it displays an error that it has not been configured; before it will work you must click the edit button.

Configuration options:

The first option is the role the the searched users are to have; if the block is in a course it will find users with that role assigned in that course (not inherited), if it is on the front page/my moodle it will search for users with that role anywhere.

The second option is optional; it allows the list to link to a page other than the users' profiles, for example setting it to "http://your.moodle.site/blog/index.php?userid=" would make all the links point to the users' blogs.

Usage

To use it just start typing any part of the users name into the box, as you type the list of names will appear and be narrowed down. Once you can see the user you want to find just click on their name.
