re: can a pogrammer add more options for search in it. Like category/sub category I also would like to have in location/sub-location and sector/sub-sector
Sure, a programmer/developer can make Connections search any way you want it to. How much time and effort it takes really depends on how you want to change Connections.
re: I will choose for the gridder but want to make small changes in look and is the coloring changable (so it fits in my site)
Gidder is quite configurable, see the docs.
re: why not a seperate linkedin and social media with icon in ?
No sure what you are asking… all social media networks are displayed with an icon.
re: is the view adjustable – now we have only the full wide screen (so why not just a picture, name and position)
This really depends on the them. The directly will only be as wide as what the theme allows for the page content.
As for displaying info… that is where templates come in. Different templates will show the info in different ways. Take, for example how Gridder displays the directory info is very, very different on how the free template displays the info. The Connections template engine is quite flexible so a programmer/developer can really make the directory display any way you want.
Hope that answers your question thoroughly.
