When both the Users and User Display Name featured are enabled, the search functionality within the Users UI will expand to include fields such as display name, first name, middle name, or last name in the search results.

Lastly, since we added a recipe step to allow you to re-index users. This step will update all enabled user by default using a batch size of 250. To re-index all of your users run the following recipe
{
"steps": [
{
"name": "indexUsers",
"includeDisabledUsers": false,
"batchSize": 250
}
]
}
The includeDisabledUsers parameter within the indexUsers step is optional and allows for the indexing of disabled users if desired. Moreover, the batchSize parameter provides the ability to adjust the update batch size. The default value is set at 250 and can be increased to 1000 if necessary.
