User Search Improvements

[Atlan]

Suggestion Name: User Search Improvements

Suggestion Description:

The user name entered in search field should be treated as one string. It should be possible to use wildcards.

Any example images: -

Why should it be added?:

At the moment, the string entered in search field is splittet at the spaces and the results are searched 'OR junked',

i.e. if you search for 'foo bar' you get every user with 'foo' and 'bar' in its name which leads to many, sometimes hundreds, of findings.

 

The search algorythm should be changed so that 'foo bar' only finds usernames with exact this string.

Furthermore, wildcards should be possible to search for unknown characters, i.e.

'foo%bar' searches for usernames which begin with 'foo' and end with 'bar'.

We intend to do some tweaking to the search engine (such as searching based on exact match or contains string logic). Currently, all web developers are busy working on other projects, but we will add a ticket to the backlog and hope to bring this feature in the future.
