Dynamo search:your_custom_field

Rob,

This is a must need add-on for #eecms, hoping you can help me figure out why I can't get search:your_custom_field working. Ideally I want this to be a dynamic parameter that is set from a drop down menu for selecting a department (where only 1 department will display). I'm using this in conjunction with VMG Chosen Member to relate member profiles with a EE channel entry for the ability to sort/filter and search an "employee directory". I've tried setting search:your_custom_field in my Dynamo entries tag just for testing purposes. I don't' get any errors, but the results are not updated. Any help is appreciated.

{exp:dynamo:form return="employee-information/directory" search_id="{segment_3}"}
    <select name="orderby">
        <option value="date">Sort By:</option>
        <option value="date">Date</option>
        <option value="title">Name</option> 
        <option value="member_department">Department</option>
    </select>
    <select name="sort">
        <option value="asc">Order In:</option>
        <option value="asc">Ascending</option>
        <option value="desc">Descending</option>
    </select>
    <select name="limit">
        <option value="10"{if limit == 10} selected="selected"{/if}>10</option>
        <option value="20"{if limit == 20} selected="selected"{/if}>20</option>
        <option value="50"{if limit == 50} selected="selected"{/if}>50</option>
    </select>
    <select name="search:member_department">
        <option value="Information Technology\W">Information Technology</option>

    </select>
    <select name="search:member_branch">
        <option value="10"{if limit == 10} selected="selected"{/if}>10</option>
        <option value="20"{if limit == 20} selected="selected"{/if}>20</option>
        <option value="50"{if limit == 50} selected="selected"{/if}>50</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Go!" />
