Public bug reported:

Changes to the user search query parsing have left admin, institutional
admin, and group members searches inconsistent.

The current behaviour of admin & group searches is to take the search
terms and combine them with OR, with the one exception that two terms in
a quoted phrase are interpreted as a search for "firstname lastname".

We should change them to be the same as the new general user search:
search terms are combined with AND; quoted phrases can search for
multiple words together inside a single field ("van Gogh"); and the
search respects the "exact user searches" checkbox in the internal
search plugin config.
