# Searching Searching for users can be done by entering part of a users name in the search field to find users containing the search term. It is also possible to use search operators for advanced searches. Below is a table of the available search operators. | Operator | Example | Description | | -------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | group: | group:name | Matches users group by name. Group name is case sensitive. | | email: | email:pritunl.com | Matches the term with any part of a users email address. | | status: | status:online | Matches status of user, can be *online* or *offline*. | | type: | type:client | Matches user type, can be *ca*, *server*, *client*, *server\_pool* or *client\_pool*. This search will require showing hidden users by holding shift and clicking the *Organization* label. | --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
