## Description

User Supersearch improves the user search functionality in the admin backend.

### Key Features

 * **Extremely Fast**: Built with fast vanilla JavaScript for a seamless experience.
 * **Highly Optimized**: Queries leverage highly optimized SQL EXISTS blocks, ensuring
   zero slowdowns on large databases.
 * **Exact Match Options**: Includes a “Whole Word Search” option to force exact
   matches instead of fuzzy fallback matches.
 * **Future-Proof**: Robust PHP 7.4 – 8.x compatibility.

WordPress search is quite restrictive by default as it only allows you to search
for users by username or email. With User Supersearch, you will be able to search
by first name, last name, phone number, or any custom user meta field that exists
in your database.

Furthermore, it automatically detects and includes **WooCommerce** billing and shipping
meta fields, improving tremendously the search experience for WooCommerce users.
It is fully compatible with all custom user meta fields plugins, such as Advanced
Custom Fields (ACF), Pods, User Meta, ACPT, etc.

There is also an “OR” feature: for example, you can search for users that have “
London” or “Paris” in their billing or shipping city. Check the fields `billing_city`
and `shipping_city` in the User Supersearch settings. Now in the Users page, simply
type “London or Paris” into the search field.

### What fields can I search with this plugin?

You can search by first name, last name, email, phone number, or any custom user
meta field that exists in your database.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes! It automatically detects and includes WooCommerce billing and shipping meta
fields, which tremendously improves the user search experience.

### Is it compatible with ACF or Pods?

It is fully compatible with all custom user meta fields plugins, including Advanced
Custom Fields (ACF), Pods, User Meta, and ACPT.

### Will it slow down my site if I have thousands of users?

No, the queries leverage highly optimized SQL EXISTS blocks, ensuring zero slowdowns
even on large databases.

### How does the “OR” search feature work?

You can search for multiple values by typing “or” between terms, for example, “London
or Paris” will find users in either city if those fields are enabled in settings.

### Does it support exact matches?

Yes, it includes a “Whole Word Search” option to force exact matches instead of 
the default fuzzy fallback matches.
