User.search - REST API

Super-users may look up other users using several search criteria, such as display name, user ID or username. Consult the introduction to user search APIs for more information on how the parameters can be combined.

On output, a list of results is returned, possibly empty or with one matching element only, along with metadata describing what is being returned, such as current page or total number of results.

Passwords are never returned on output.

Input parameters may be sent in query string or JSON body - there is no difference.
