Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I want to be able to filter views on an individual user.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the PropertyFilter I want to have a third option (next to Property and Cohort) that allows you to search a list of users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could look up the distinct ID or email address for example

Additional context

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

Research direction
Investigate the existing PropertyFilter component in the PostHog frontend codebase. Review how the current Cohort and Property options are implemented. Identify where to add the new user filter option. Check if there is an API endpoint to search users. Provide a plan for implementation.
