      It can be common when performing user maintenance, investigations or other admin that you will copy paste usernames, emails or full names from other sources such as a support email, and paste into admin/user.php. It is common enough to have the copied string contain a leading or trailing space, which will cause a search fail.

      Anything except the exact comparison operator should have any trailing or leading whitespace stripped, as it will all result in a greater subset of useful results appearing, while still capturing all the matches for the exact search term as well.
