As per Engineering team, there are two types of Search when "Enable People Search on Alternate fields" is enabled in Company Settings
1. Prefix Search - Which is triggered when you enter a search string with no blank space.
These supports the following Search
- display_Name ($(First_Name) $(Middle_Initial) $(Last_Name).)
- formal_Name (Value set in Personal Information in Employee profile)
If the value set on formal_Name or display_Name contains a blank space, then the user you are trying to search will not appear)
2. Contain Search - Is triggered when you enter a search string with a blank space or below supported search strings.
- firstName lastName
- middleName
- username
- preferredName
Special Note:
People Search will not search on User ID.
