Hi @kmacleod

Thank you very much for your response, as well as for publishing the official exclusion list.

I have not yet had time to digest the blog post, but with regards to switching from the embedded Crowd service to PersonService or GroupService:

I should start by mentioning that PersonService, Expansion and a bunch of their dependencies are still marked as @ExperimentalApi, even in Confluence 8.6. I imagine that this is an oversight?

Assuming that this is the correct path forward, how would one perform a substring match based on partial user displayname or group name? The use case is a user picker or group picker. The Crowd equivalent is:

Query<User> query = QueryBuilder.queryFor(
        User.class,
        EntityDescriptor.user()
    )
    .with(
        Restriction.on(UserTermKeys.DISPLAY_NAME)
            .containing(searchTerm)
    )

and

GroupQuery<Group> groupQuery = new GroupQuery<>(
    Group.class,
    GroupType.GROUP,
    Combine.allOf(
         Restriction.on(GroupTermKeys.NAME).containing(searchTerm),
         Restriction.on(GroupTermKeys.ACTIVE).exactlyMatching(true)
    ),
    0,
    MAX_SEARCH_RESULTS
);
