PRC search in built-in properties

Question

Hi there,
I would like to write a portlet which could search in User objects and in specified properties/property of users. I mean a portal user has first name, last name, email, company etc. built-in properties and it is allowed to add more user specified properties as well. I would like to search only in email property or in company name, etc.
There is a IFilterClause object and it has a addStatement(Field, operator, value) method. It could be cool for me but I need Field objects... I can create new Field objects with PortalFields.forID(id) method, but I CANNOT create fields with id number<100... Email, company etc. properties have id number<100. Of course non built-in properties (created by an administrator for example) have id number >200, so I can search in non bulit-in properties only.
Is there any solution to create FilterClause statements for built-in properties?
thanks in advance,
Zsolt

Craig,
I am developing a portlet to search the properties of a user's profile using C#. If you could post the code to assist me with this issue I would be greatful. I currently am using the code below and have hard coded the ID for the user Address in as when I had it pulling from the web.config I was receiving the error : Property ID out of Range. The error I am receiving now is : com.plumtree.openfoundation.util.XPIllegalArgumentException
Here is my complete code:
privatevoidGetUserInfo()
IPortletRequest portletRequest = portletContext.GetRequest();
IRemoteSession session = PortalUtility.GetRemoteConnection();
IPortletUser portletUser = portletContext.GetUser();
this._ownerid = portletUser.GetUserID().ToString();
ISearchFactory searchFactory = session.GetSearchFactory();
IFilterClause filter = searchFactory.CreateAndFilterClause();
filter.AddStatement(PlumtreeField.NAME,Operator.Contains,this.txtName.Text);
IFilterClause andFilterClause = searchFactory.CreateAndFilterClause();
IPortalSearchRequest searchRequest = searchFactory.CreatePortalSearchRequest();
//add a statement for created in the last three months
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-12);
andFilterClause.AddStatement(PlumtreeField.CREATED, Operator.GreaterThan, dt);
searchRequest.SetQuery(andFilterClause);
ObjectClass[] classes = newObjectClass[1];
classes[0] = ObjectClass.User;
searchRequest.SetObjectTypesToSearch(classes);
searchRequest.SetQuery(filter);
searchRequest.SetResultsCount(0, 999);
// run the search
ISearchResponse searchResponse = searchRequest.Execute();
//iterate through the results
ISearchResultSet resultSet = searchResponse.GetResultSet();
IObjectManager objectManager = PortalUtility.GetRemoteConnection().GetObjectManager(ObjectClass.User);
IObjectQuery queryResults;
queryResults = objectManager.QueryObjects();
IObjectQueryRow queryObject = objectManager.QuerySingleObject(UserId);
IExtendedData customProperties = queryObject.GetExtendedData();
IEnumerator results = resultSet.GetResults();
while(results.MoveNext())
Response.Write("--------------------------------------------------");
Response.Write("<br>");
IPortalSearchResult result = (IPortalSearchResult) results.Current;
Person operson = newPerson();
operson.Name = result.GetFieldAsString(PortalField.NAME);
operson.ObjectID = result.GetFieldAsString(PortalField.OBJECT_ID);
Response.Write("" + operson.Name);
Response.Write("<br>" + operson.ObjectID);
// when returning properties that may be null make sure to do a null check
// with the GetFieldAsObject method before trying to use the field
if(result.GetFieldAsObject(PortalField.ForID(157)) != null)
operson.Email = result.GetFieldAsString(PortalField.ForID(157));
Response.Write("" + operson.Email);
