This can easily be accomplished --just open a ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> and request that the Birthdate column be enabled in the User Search Helper. This additional column when searching is not only a time saver, but a way to accurately retrieve the correct user record.
