Guild Search is a utility to help guild leaders and officers. It allows searching the guild roster, particularly the notes and officer notes. Many guilds will keep meaningful notes in those fields including the the player names for alts. It is very useful to be able to search a large guild roster to find characters. For example, with the recent rise in compromised accounts, if the right information is in the notes, it makes it easy to find all the alts of a player and demote them.
It has options to allow configuring which fields will be searched.
Guild Search displays the following items:
Class-colored character name
Level
Note
Officer Note
Rank
Last Online
You can search the following data:
Character Name
Note
Office Note
Rank (off by default)
Class Name (off by default)
You can also edit the following items for a guild member:
Public Note
Officer Note
Rank
You can bring up the search window via:
Chat command /gsearch
LDB launcher
Minimap button
The Last Online column is an approximate based on the data available in the guild roster. It will always be at least an hour off because the smallest unit of time the roster provides is hours.

Changelog for v0.6: "Added options to lock and move window."
Thanks for praise and for the reminder! I updated this add-on here too. Let me know if you have any issues.

Originally posted by Mortilus This addon only allows users to view/search Officer Notes if the user is themselves an officer, right?
For example, I am not an officer in my guild. If I use this addon, will I be able to view Officer Notes about myself or other guildies?
No. This add-on isn't going to allow you to bypass the usual guild security mechanisms. You must have permissions to see officer notes in order to view or search them from the add-on.
