But what if you want to search user by first name or last name or both. What if you want to search by entering only partial email address or username, you cannot do it as by default WordPress do not come with this feature. Above limitation motivated me to develop a plugin which could perform search based on full-name , first-name, last-name, email and username. “User First Name / Full Name Search In WP-admin” Plugin that allows admin to search user much more deeply and overcomes the limit possessed by WordPress. Note :- This plugin is inspired from “Improved user search in backend” plugin. ### 4.9.6 * Modified to work on 4.9.6 #### 2.0 * Function updated * Tested on 4.6 #### 1.1 * A title name and file name changed #### 1.1 * A title name and file name changed ## Installation 1.
