Searching E-Mails of Users

Trc4

Is there any way I can search for user email addresses?
Ideally, directly for a domain *@xyz.net

I don't think there's a built-in solution, because all the search filters included in Flarum core can be used by any user and having an email search would be a privacy nightmare.

In the context of a private forum or where search is restricted to admins only, my extension flamarkt/identity indexes the email into the Scout full text search.

A more flexible solution for a regular forum would be to create an email search gambit, protected by a dedicated permission. It's not a complicated piece of code, but I don't think we have an example ready.

If this is just a one-time search, you can connect to your database and filter the users table on the email column.

If you're trying to ban specific emails, you can use this extension https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28377-email-whitelist It only applies to new registrations though.

Trc4 my question was to ask more details. Who will perform the search? How often do they need to do it? Will they simply visit each user profile, do they need to export the results to a different software, do they need to run any mass action on the search results?

Flarum already has 2 places where users are listed (forum global search, and admin panel user list). Depending on the extensions in use, there could be more places (user directory). Depending on your use case, we can suggest something that integrates with the correct area for what you intend to do with the results.

If this is a one-time thing only, are you familiar with SQL or your database managed UI tool? Have you already tried to find the results by searching directly the database in the users table?
