Search on a custom fields is a very usefull feature.
We added telephone number to custom field telephoneNumber.
We added telephoneNumber in Fields to Consider in Search option in Account settings in Administration
But search for users telephone number doesn't work now.
Please add opportunity to search for custom fields in Directory ->User

@mmmaks2004 @moriccelli @mayur-rawte @tassoevan great news!
We found that custom fields search already works great,
We added telephoneNumber custom field and found right way to add it to search in Fields to Consider in Search option in Account settings in Administration
Now in that field we have that: username, name, customFields.telephoneNumber
And search by telephone number works great!
Please check it and write result here.
Rocket.Chat Version 2.3.2

@ankar84 you're perfectly right! thanks a lot!
but still it would be perfect to see the custom fields in the table in the derectory. But this is enother ticket: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/13934
I think, it's ok to close the issue

@moriccelli glad to hear!
And yes, now we need to see custom fields in the Directory table.
