Hello,
From today, we can’t search user by e-mail using the python API… The following is the example.

gl.users.list(search=‘test@mail.com’)

Until yesterday, it worked but it doesn’t work from today.

In the offitial documentation, it says that we can sarch user information by e-mail.

You can also search for users by name, username, primary email, or secondary email, by using ?search=. For example. /users?search=John.

Hi there,

I can reproduce this in the browser (https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users?search="MYEMAIL@ADDRESS" returns an empty array, whereas https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users?search="MYNAME").

The right place to report bugs is the GitLab issues list. I couldn’t find anything relevant with a quick search but you might do a bit better than me!

There should be a bug template if you need to raise a new issue, otherwise do upvote and comment on any relevant issue you find, and that will make it more likely to be fixed.
