BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types is 100% compatible with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/" rel="ugc">BP Profile Search plugin</a>. 
At the moment, following fields are searchable using BP Profile Search:- 
* Birthdate 
* Datepicker 
* Color 
* Email 
* Web 
* Number Min/Max 
* Range Input 
* Decimal Number 
* Country 
Other fields such as post type, taxonomy etc are not searchable as they are stored in serialized format( due to back compatibility).
The plugin is opensource and currently developed on github. We welcome you to be part of its future development at <a href="https://github.com/buddydev/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/buddydev/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types</a>.
Discuss the plugin on our <a href="https://buddydev.com/add-extra-buddypress-profile-fields-with-buddypress-xprofile-custom-field-types-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">release post</a> or view the plugin’s <a href="https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/" rel="nofollow ugc">detailed documentation here</a>. 
The idea is based on @donmik’s plugin. This plugin is a complete rewrite. Some field type do share code with the original plugin. My guess, we are using 20-30% of the code for field types from the original.
In the future, we hope to add more fields.
Note: This plugin is not 100% backward compatible 
It is very easy to migrate. Should take less than 5 minute. If you are looking to move from the older plugin to this one, please read our <a href="https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/#migrate" rel="nofollow ugc">migration guide</a>.
Note 2: The Custom taxonomy field does not allow you to categorize users. They allow you to let users select some terms and display the terms on their profile. 
 It is not intended for classifying user
