Can I query a user on their user data?

[dan]

Hi, are there any examples of how to query users based on user data?

You can experiment in the admin UI using the search field.

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.
