User Search inaccurate

Hello,

I have over 1200 users, but when I search for “Gmail” (like I’m searching for my users who have signed up witha a gmail email address), the found items number is over 5,000 (more users than I have) and 103 pages of results each with a max of 3-6 results each page (which is weird, if there were that many results, why would each page have a normal full list of results eg, 10 or 20 per page?). This is WAY inaccurate and I need some help in this area!

Since we have such a high volume of users, I need the ability to do an accurate search for a subscriber by their name.

Can I get some help on this? I would appreciate your input.

Are you having this problem because of s2Member? I haven’t seen this issue before.

I’ve deactivated all plugins that would affect any sort of member details and still getting same weird results when I do a search.

I’m running the site on a custom theme based off of Twenty Eleven, but have not changed core functionality, just the looks of things.

Any other ideas why this might be happening?

What I’d do is deactivate all the plugins and go to the default theme and see if I still the problem with the users search. If you do, it’s something with WordPress itself, but it you don’t, then it’s one of the things you removed, then you can bring them back one by one testing after each.
