Why can't I search the user's email?

I want to look up a user by their email, but the search input isn’t letting me search the user’s email field

In the search expression I can search inside the user’s email

This is because the email field is very specific, as emails can come from external services, etc. But nothing prevents you to add a field with the email…

You mean duplicate the email field in a text field? I opened another post about operating on an email field using text expressions such as “contains.”

I mean yeah, I can manually create redundant fields. Seems like it’s not a great idea, but if that’s the only way to make it work…
