After some back and forth [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/removing-users-from-directory-but-keeping-their-post-info/281662/7) it turns out that accounts that are suspended will not appear when searched for in the user directory, but they still appear on the main user directory page unless they are also deactivated.

For example, I have suspended this user and no results for him will show if searched for. However, you can still see him listed:

 ![suspended user shows in user directory list](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/a/c/2ac33bd60bf7ff924f7688274c7be2417b1e9d6d.png)

Shouldn’t suspended users be completely scrubbed from the user directory?

BTW, I suspended this user yesterday and the once-a-day background job that updates the directory ran a couple hours ago.

Thanks!
