    Improve User search

    There are a couple of goals we have with regards to user search:

    1. Improve performance of global search with user scope [Maintenance]

    Currently, user search does a basic search which uses database queries which is slow.

    By leveraging Elasticsearch, we can improve:

    • The performance of user search.
    • The search experience of user search.

    This would entail:

    1. Indexing users in Elasticsearch: gitlab#359820 (closed)
    2. Adding advanced search for users: gitlab#377587 (closed)

    2. Add user autocompletion in global search bar [Feature]

    Autosuggest users matching search term.

    Design

    Optional: When starting a search with an @, prioritize user search by listing autocomplete results at the top and automatically filter to the user experience.

    3. Improve performance of user autosuggestion API [Maintenance]

    Leverage users elasticsearch index to improve performance of the user autosuggestion API.
