Searching for ANY user, including wildcards, always returns zero users. This
started happening upon installing 2.20rc1, but I originally thought it was
becuase I enabled usemenuforusers -- however, I have since confirmed the problem
with usemenuforusers enabled and disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As administrator, select Users to go to editusers.cgi
2. Enter any search parameters that _should_ match
3.

Actual Results:  
Produces zero results

Expected Results:  
Matched appropriate users

Are you using visibilitygroups? You'll only see users in groups that are visible
to you.

Using wildcards doesn't work if you use the "case-insensitive substring" search.
Don't put any wildcards there.

For regexp searches, use ".*" as a wildcard. Using "*" only is (probably) not
what you want.

That was it, apparently. Turning off visibilitygroups restore access to the users.
