People Webpart - search individual words, not full phrase
The People webpart does not currently return individual words in a search, only full phrases. For example if I search "Manager Sydney" no results appear.
But if I search "Manager" OR "Sydney" it returns many results.
In a Global organisation, it is commonplace for staff to search for a role, then an office so we need the webpart to be able to search for individual words rather than the whole phrase.
Can this be addressed?
The refactored People web part, launched in March 2023, includes 3 different search criteria:
- match all = match this AND that (same field);
- match any = match this OR that (same field);
- cross fields = match this AND that across all user fields
To activate this functionality, open the web part settings panel and under "Search, Filter, Sort" toggle on "Search" and define which fields you want your end users to search for. A search bar will be added to the web part content area. On the right end of the search bar, you will see 3 icons, each representing one of the search patterns above.

Any updates on this? Would be really helpful for this to be addressed.
