- [@trichoplax](https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890) discovered that when entering two or more characters, the results are always sorted alphabetically. By default and when using the *Reputation*/*Age* sorting options.

The first issue is a duplicate of this question: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/291717
Add user search substring matching
- User sorting is unclear when sorting by *Reputation* or *Age*
Would it be possible to update the user search function so that it allows searching for any part of a username, rather than just matching from the beginning?For example, if I search for *"Cellio"*, I receive no results.---Another observation is that sorting by *Reputation* or *Age* appears ineffective when the search function is used. The order in which users are displayed remains unclear - it doesn't seem to be alphabetical, by user ID, reputation, or age.-
