With global search from your internal org, you can get uneven results when searching for an Experience Builder site User record. Here’s why and what you can do about it. Each site has a unique network ID. When you create a site user through Contact record | Create External User, the new User record is assigned to a site's network ID.
Global search looks for records in the internal org, which has a different network ID than the site. A global search doesn't search inside sites. Since the User record is associated with a site network ID, global search doesn't return results for that record.
The workaround is to create User records in the internal org, and then associate the records to a site. You can associate an internal User record to a site by linking the internal record to a Contact record. After you forge the link, you can find the User record through global search. The User record's network ID is now associated with the internal org.
