<p>Better User Search is a must have plugin if you’re running WooCommerce. Without it, you’re stuck trying to remember every<br />
customer’s username.</p>
<p>Better User Search is used to improve the user search functionality in the admin/backend.</p>
<p>WordPress by default only allows you to search for users by username/nicename. Using Better User Search, you will be able<br />
to search by first name, last name, email address and any custom user meta field that already exists in the user meta table.</p>
<p>On top of that, there is an “OR” feature provided. Just include the word “or” (case-insensitive) in your search query<br />
and the plugin will search for any user that matches at least 1 of the search terms.</p>
<p>“OR” Search Example:<br />
Let’s find all WooCommerce customers in Texas or Florida. To do this, first make sure that <code>billing_state</code> and <code>shipping_state</code><br />
are setup in the Better User Search settings. Now head to the Users page and type “TX or FL” into the search field.</p>
<p>It really is that simple!<br />
Special characters like quotes are escaped, problems with the query may appear when trying to search for other non-alphanumeric characters.</p>
