Username search with search api v3

How do you support support a usual use case of searching users by name while wildcard search on user_metadata is not available?

There is no other option to store user name for a database connection but in user_metadata.name.

Hey there @omdev, I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that I am currently looking into this for you. I will let you know what I find, thanks!

cool, deadline is coming…

After investigating with our support department, we found with V3 it’s currently not possible, but it is something being discussed. However a work around would be using search in V2 for the time being until we have a more concrete answer for this in V3. I have linked the documentation below related to V2 Search.

Thanks James, I know it’s not possible that’s why I asked. Will keep using v2.
Looking forward for solution, I am sure I’m not alone who needs wildcard search on user_metadata.name.

I totally understand and you’re not alone in looking for this feature. Please let us know if you have any questions in the future!
