It would be nice to be able to search for users. Could search by any public profile data (name, location, skills, etc).
All Artifacts get indexed by solr automatically. Not sure if we'd want to make a User an Artifact since there is other ramifications of that, but that'd be one potential starting point for the indexing portion of this.
What are the ramifications of making User an Artifact? I think making Artifact will allow us to easily search users and tag users in comment
Since this ticket was created, users have been added to a
SearchIndexablemixin class. They are indexed and searchable via the site admin URL/nf/admin/search_users
