Caution

You can use single words or a combination of words and spaces in your group search.

A search using single words will return all groups with partial matches. For example, to find the group "All Remote Users", you can use All or Remote or Users in your query.

If you use a combination of words and spaces in your group search, the query results will show only the group names that match this combination exactly. For example, to find the group "All Remote Users", you can only use All Remote Users in your query. Any other combination (for example, All Remote) will return null.

If you use only a space in your group search, the query results will also be null.

As a general guidance, don't add a space to the Name field in your group search unless you are performing an exact match search.
