Add ability to have minimum word length when someone search users.

Minor feature request that when someone performs a user search, the keyword must be at least 2 or 3 characters in length before a user search is performed.

It has the feature in searching content, but it has not the feature in searching users, if I understand it correctly!

In my website, I can search users with *(asterisk) and it list the all users in my website. That’s the thing I would like to see least. Is it a security threat?

Thanks

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
