The user is unable to search for a user using either the wild card * or screen name. The UI says that it is unable to retrieve the name. Using the wild card is interpreted literally (i.e. tes* instead of any user whose name begins with tes.)

1. Create a user whose screen name is test1.
2. On the portal, add the Search portlet.
3. Enter tes*. The portlet should display test1. Instead it says there is no such user called tes*
4. Enter test1. The portlet should display test1. Instead, it says there is no such user called test1.
