Fuzzy search for users by email

Marco Rogers	Wednesday 03 November 2010 10:46:35 pm I know I can fetch a particular user by email using eZUser::fetchByEmail. But it has to match exactly. I need to do a fuzzy search and the user account field isn't supported in an attribute filter. I can get by with something really simple that is equivalent to "select * from ezuser where email like "%foo%"" But obviously something more robust that supports querying other fields as well would be ideal. Thanks :Marco
