Adding Help text to search profile

[Eileen]

The patch adds per field and per profile search text to a search profile. This is generally useful to lots of people but I hesitate to submit it as a JIRA issue because it could have some unexpected effects on people who already had multi-functional profiles if the search text they wrote for a 'create' profile suddenly started showing up on their 'search' profile.

One option might be to add another setting to the profile as to whether the help text would show on the search profile

Thanks Eileen, that's the part I needed:

{assign var=field value=$fields|@reset}
{$field.groupHelpPre}

I used it in CRM/common/joomla.tpl

Now, when I display a Profile Search restricted to a certain group on Joomla's frontend the page gives me a description for that Profile and Search Results (contacts).

Thank you very much!
