 * Hi,
    Just saw a bug in the user search. If you go to Users, then try to search
   René with the accent, then retry to search anything you will be redirected to
   the home page of your website.
 * Anybody saw that bug?
 * Thanks

 * I just tried this on 4 separate WP installs (all 4.1.1) and was unable to reproduce
   this bug.
 * Just to confirm, you are referring to Dashboard > Users > “Search User” field?
 * Also, just to note, one of my installs has quite a few plugins, whilst the other
   3 are pretty bare.
 * Is there any possibility that a plugin you’re using is causing this? I would 
   love to help figure out which plugin it is so that we can alert the plugin developer
   and/or WordPress core developers.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the reply, yes that’s exactly what I do. I have try this on 5 wordpress
   install with different or no plugins and it always do the same thing. Can it 
   be something with my server?
 * I can setup a new WordPress installation for you and give you credentials if 
   you would take the time with me to check.
 * Thanks

 * Do all 5 WP installs have a user named “René”? None of my 4 installs contain 
   a user with this [user]name.
 * I would love to take the time with you to look over it!
