Its this part. Note, you can test this via GSH (or UI), and there are some
training videos about this:

Subject: [grouper-users] New UI - Configuration to allow searching for
subjects by name and/or partial match?


Is there a way to configure Grouper so that when one uses the "Search" box
from the new UI that results can be pulled up based on entering a last name
or partial name?

Currently I have Grouper configured so our subjects are being pulled from
LDAP and givenName and surname attributes are included in the info for a
subject. If I search for my user ID, I get a result. If I search for my
last name, I get no results.

I was wondering if it is possible to search based on matching other fields
besides the subject ID, and if partial matching is possible.

I *think* this might be configurable in `sources.xml`, but I am not certain
what the appropriate section to configure would be.

Thanks,
