If you are an admin, search will return users whose email address (in
participants
) matches the query. If you are not an admin, you won't notice the functionality (or lack of).One thing I couldn't figure out was how to match partial strings. E.g., searching for
alice
returns both ~user Alice (onusername
) and ~user Alice (onemail_address
[email protected]), searching foral
only returns Alice onusername
. However, for support cases, I don't think this is a huge problem because we have the entire email address to search with (as long as they contact us with the email address in the database).
