User search in admin/groupadmin panel only on uid

[hregnier]

My 30K users is imported from an old ldap, some of them have a random uid and I can search them only by their full name. But when an admin or a groupadmin search with the top bar searchbox, the search is only on uid.

For a quick fix, i juste change in settings/Controller/UsersController.php
L:252 $batch = $this->userManager->search($pattern, $limit, $offset);
to
L:252 $batch = $this->userManager->searchDisplayName($pattern, $limit, $offset);

But im not pleased with it, because uid search can't be done. Is it possible to override all this process to make search on both criteria ?

I like the idea, searching by users email would also be nice.

@hregnier so you use the LDAP backend? https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/10/admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ldap.html#directory-settings → "User Search Attributes"

@blizzz no. I do not user LDAP Backend. By the way, if I understand the app, the user search attribute is useful for serching user in the LDAP, not in nextcloud. That's not what i want to do.
