Thank you for contacting us.

Hi,

please goto jomsocial backend > configuration > site > advanced search, as you can see Email Search using Respect Privacy.
regarding that setting, every user must set at they own profile setup if they want to search-able by email.

Hi Albertus,
Yes that work for front end, but apply for admin to search by email in backend?

Hi,

please edit:
/administrator/components/com_community/models/users.php at line 180
change the code from

if (!empty($search) && $useSearch) {
    $searchQuery = 'WHERE (name LIKE ' . $db->Quote('%' . $search . '%') . ' '
            . 'OR username LIKE ' . $db->Quote('%' . $search . '%').' ) ';
}

if (!empty($search) && $useSearch) {
    $searchQuery = 'WHERE (name LIKE ' . $db->Quote('%' . $search . '%') . ' '
            . 'OR username LIKE ' . $db->Quote('%' . $search . '%') . ' '
            . 'OR email LIKE ' . $db->Quote('%' . $search . '%').' ) ';
}
