Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste 3 grotere versies van WordPress**. Mogelijk
wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Ook kunnen er compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

## Beschrijving

It empowers admins to search for the first name, last name and email address of 
users instead of only their nicknames/nicenames.

It is also possible to search for custom user meta fields now.

### 󠀁[FINALLY!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-156/)󠁿

 [Arial Burnz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arialburnz/) 8 februari 2017

I am FLABBERGASTED that WordPress's search doesn't operate like any other search
should. I read a thread where the moderator, in essence, said, "Too bad it doesn't
work the way you're used to. It works the way it's supposed to for internet web 
search standards." (Here's the thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-
user-search?replies=23). I can't believe it took me so long to search for a plugin
to fix this problem, but I think I was so bent on the idea, "WHY DO I HAVE TO INSTALL
A PLUGIN TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE WORKING RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE." I held
onto that way too long!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this plugin! It
works PERFECTLY and there's no special screen I have to go to to do my search. I
just go to the Users utility and search for what I need…as it should be! Thanks 
for doing this in the backend and improving the functionality without having to 
go through hoops to use it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! HIGHLY recommend this
plugin as a standard install for any WordPress site. Best, Arial Burnz www.ArialBurnz.
