Read this blog on WordPress search users by custom field for more information.
We can use WordPress back-end user list to manage the users on the website. Users get built-in custom profile fields such as first name, last name, website, description etc.
WordPress built-in profile fields allow you to capture basic details about a user. Most of the WordPress sites are used for blogs and hence those built-in fields are enough to capture author details. However, we need custom profile fields in many other types of sites built with WordPress.
Before searching for custom fields, we need to identify how custom fields are stored in the database. Most plugins use the wp_usermeta table to store the data of users’ custom profile fields. However, there can be plugins that use its own custom tables to store users’ custom profile fields.
