Problem
When searching for users or groups within the ucs@school administration frontend you have to type in the asterisk ("*") before and after the partial string. Otherwise search will only return exact matches.
Environment
You have updates your ucs@school to v4 which contains a fix for bug #47418.
Solution
As this is a regression (handled in this bug) you will have to type in the asterisk until the fix is released with an upcoming patch. You can monitor progress in bugzilla.
