Public bug reported:

Mahara 15.10+

When Mahara has internal search (not Elasticsearch), I can't filter for
friends or people just from my institution. The default setting for any
user who is in an institution is to only search within that user group
first. Only upon changing the context to "everyone" would they be able
to search for everyone. Only site admins can search for everyone
instantly.

See http://manual.mahara.org/en/15.04/groups/find_friends.html#find-
friends for how it worked in Mahara 15.04

Currently, the 15.10 search box does not have the option to filter for
the context and only displays users from my own institution. There is no
way of finding others.
