Anthony Borrow added a comment - 14/Jan/08 01:12 AM I've modified the file to respect the maildisplay settings as followed: If one is searching from the front page, then it requires the maildisplay to be 1 and will not display users who only want their email displayed to those with whom they share a course. Searching from within a course will display when maildisplay is not 0 (i.e. the user has requested to hide their email from others). Even though the email address is not being displayed, doing this avoids fishing for a person's email address. Peace - Anthony

Anthony Borrow added a comment - 14/Jan/08 01:41 AM I went ahead and create a patch to include the searching of the username field as well. This is related to MDL-3982 which requests that the username field be included on searches for users.

Anthony Borrow added a comment - 14/Jan/08 01:44 AM MDL-3982 requests that the username field be searched when searching for users. MDL-12967 requests that the email (and possibly) the username field be included when searching for users via the messaging system (/message/lib.php's search_users function). Resolving both of these would allow for user's to be found by entering a name that is in either the firstname, lastname, username, or email fields.
