The searchable `Users Field` is only available with `quick search`,  
and `quick search` is only available with Desktop view, not Phone view.

That means, there is no way to search `Users Field` on your phone, correct?

I’m not sure I follow. Do you want to search for users on mobile? You can do so from this dropdown:

I mean the User Field. Seems it is impossible to search User Fields on Phone View. @pmusaraj

That “Users” option in the dropdown should still work. Here’s an example from my local instance:

Do you have any idea what settings could block the **User Fields** searching (I have made the field searchable)?  
Mine is a pretty new site with modifications only from “All Site Settings”
