 * You’re actually very close, it’s just a matter of sorting out the syntax errors.
   For that, I’m not of much help, mySQL is not something I am strong at. Here is
   my guess at the correct syntax:
    `$user_search->query_where = str_replace('WHERE
   1=1', "$wpdb->users.ID!=1",$user_search->query_where);`
 * This assumes the one and only administrator’s ID is 1, which may be true for 
   many sites, but you should confirm your site’s specifics. A more robust approach
   would be to query for all users with admin roles, then implode the resulting 
   IDs into a comma delimited list, say into `$admin_ids`, then the WHERE query 
   becomes this;
    `$user_search->query_where = str_replace('WHERE 1=1', "$wpdb->
   users.ID NOT IN ($admin_ids)",$user_search->query_where);`
