Description

  • Entering the email of a local user should bring up the user as a local share
  • Entering the cloud id of a local user should bring up the user as a local share
  • Searching for Bj Schi should bring up Björn Schi as well (space as a "and"-separator for better results)

As discussed @schiessle

Research direction
Examine the current user share suggestion implementation in the Nextcloud server codebase. Look for files related to sharing and autocomplete, such as lib/private/Share/SearchResult.php or similar. The issue references a discussion with @schiessle, so check related issues and commits for context. Each checkbox item involves modifying search logic to include local users by email/cloud ID and handle spaces as separators. Focus on the search query handling in the sharing backend.
