[Bug]: Cannot search in users management page with global search enabled

[blizzz]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

With global search enabled and on the users page, the list of users cannot be filtered anymore. When clicking "people" on the global search, and looking for a users, they are not found either. Also the duplicated input box is confusing.

global.search.vs.user.mgmt.webm

Steps to reproduce

1. Have global search enabled
2. go to users page
3. try to search for a user

Expected behavior

A search for the entered string is performed and only matching users are shown. As it happens with old search.

It seems the user search provider is a bit incomplete: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/apps/settings/lib/Search/UserSearch.php#L72-L75

Yeah, the user search works slightly different and doesn't forward results into the unified search or new advanced search.

Can you still trigger the original behavior for user searches @Altahrim @fenn-cs

[AndyScherzinger]

• Only show "USERS" as a app-filter when being on the user-management page
• emit the unified search event

[ChristophWurst]

App management search doesn't work either. Same issue?

Yes :)
Should be fixed with #41669. Not the best way but it will search in background.

Should be fixed with #41669.

I still can't search on latest master

Searching works now on RC2 albeit the UX is suboptimal. The modal is shown and active, and also gets search results from other sources, but the actual user search results appear in the background.

[AndyScherzinger]

So yeah, fixed for the moment while UX is not optimal, yet it works the way it did before except the modal is larger than the former popup.
