Hi,

I am trying to make a custom portlet which search users in function of expando values and first name.

I am trying with this

Hits hits = UserLocalServiceUtil.search(themeDisplay.getCompanyId(), 
				firstname, 
				null,
				lastname, 
				"", 
				"", 
				WorkflowConstants.STATUS_APPROVED, // active or approved
				params, 
				true, // andSearch 
				0, 
				UserLocalServiceUtil.getUsersCount(), 
				SortFactoryUtil.getSort(User.class, "orderByCol", "orderByType"));
		

where params are something like this:

{userExpandoAttributes=true, searchExpando=[[userArea, 22]]}

and userArea is a custom field. But this doesn´t work. 

Anyone can help me? Any help would be appreciated

Regards,
