Hi @ruslancc
ACF PRO 5.2.1 oiverrides the search columns to:
array('user_login', 'display_name')
ACF PRO 5.2.7 does not – it lets WP decide which columns to search. By default these columns should be the same, but it is possible that something is modifying them.
I added in a filter to allow customization to the search columns, You can see if being used here:
// filter for 3rd party customization
$columns = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/search_columns", $columns, $search, $WP_User_Query, $field);
$columns = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/search_columns/name={$field['_name']}", $columns, $search, $WP_User_Query, $field);
$columns = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/search_columns/key={$field['key']}", $columns, $search, $WP_User_Query, $field);
So you can hook into the acf/fields/user/search_columns
filter and modify the $columns to what you want.
Please also debug the $columns and see what they are set to. Post back the result and I’ll see if I need to manually add back in the ‘display_name’.
Thanks
