Request for: New Export from Directory Search

I have a simple request that I imagine would be of use to others:

Problem: Exporting a simple, multipurpose contact list from the Directory Search Module is extremely cumbersome; the options all either focus around a single mode of contact (though, annoyingly, not mailing addresses[!?]) or export very nearly everything.

Proposed Solution 1: After conducting a search through the Directory Search Module, there should be two additional options from the "Export All X Records" Menu

  1. "Contact Information - Personal" - This would include only: first name, last name, organization name, telephone, fax, email, and all personal/home address fields.
  2. "Contact Information - Professional" - This would include only: first name, last name, organization name, telephone, fax, email, and all professional/home address fields.

Proposed Solution 2: Allow administrators to build and save their own export field options to add to the list.

Obviously, these proposals are not mutually exclusive. While I imagine #2 would take some work, #1 should be quite simple to implement.

Clarification: Remove the "/home" from the above.

Along the same lines, I think it would also be great if YM could add a criteria that allows users to search by Professional Title.
