You can use the query string DSL or a full JSON query in the search field, if you are running elastic search.

Here's a link to building an ElasticSearch query (in version 6.3): https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/query-dsl-query-string-query.html

For example if you have companyName in custom data, the query string would be data.companyName:"Acme Corp."

If you are using the database search, you won't be able to use this kind of querying.

Here's more on the difference between the database search and elasticsearch options for user search: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/users#user-search
