Admin search for users through GET params no longer works

[BrianOJee]

We've recently upgraded WPLMS to version 2.2.2, and I've noticed that the student search functionality (through the "Enter student name/email" input field in e.g. http://codeinstitute.wpengine.com/course/coding-for-business-professionals/admin/) now supports instant search (find-as-you-type), but stopped supporting search through GET parameters. We've been using links of the form http://codeinstitute.wpengine.com/course/coding-for-business-professionals/admin/?search=brianojee in our systems to redirect to a specific user's progress, and they stopped working. When I write a search term in the input field and click enter, it still redirects me to the same url as before, but the new page loads unfiltered, ignoring the search term. Please help me get these url's working again. P.S. I just checked, and saw that Google search (which popularized instant search) also support GET parameters (https://www.google.ie/search?q=hello), and hash parameters (https://www.google.com/search#q=hello).

Well it was added on user's demand in the recent version and also it will double our efforts to support the search with the form submit . Also we find this to be the first request so far since we added the requested feature . So please create a feature request for this here : https://wplms.io/support/forums/forum/general/feature-request/

Thank you for the response Alex, I posted it as https://wplms.io/support/forums/topic/restore-support-for-accessing-a-students-progress-view-using-a-get-parameter/ But please note that the part I mentioned about not filtering following a click on Enter, can be considered a regression bug (so this is not limited to a feature request).
