If you search for a specific user and reveal their email address, it shows just their email address and mentions this in the logs. That’s fine.

Now, if you need to lookup another user and use the search box on the same screen, if multiple users are in the results, they all appear with their personal email address showing. And the logs mention that multiple email addresses were looked up.

In summary:

**Intention -** Look up two individual email addresses.

**Actual Results**

1. Logs show that many addresses were looked up.
2. Multiple users had their personal emails displayed unnecessarily.

**Suggestions**

1. Searching for user(s) should turn off “show email address” before completing the search.
2. “Check email” in the logs should say “Check email address” as it currently incorrectly implies reading of PMs. This was raised by someone in an earlier thread, but it’s still misleading.
