# Search for users

Authgear Admin GraphQL API supports searching user by keywords. Keywords include **email**, **phone number**, **username**, **SSO subject id** and **standard attributes**.

## Search users by email

You can use the user search query to search user by email and obtains the user details.

In the following example, the project wants to search the user by email and check if they haven't set up the TOTP authenticator.

You can adjust the fields in the query based on your needs. To explore more supporting fields, you can [try it out via the GraphiQL tool](https://docs.authgear.com/reference/apis/admin-api/..#trying-out-the-admin-api-graphql-endpoint).

The query has a maximum limit of 20, pagination parameters should be provided to obtain all the results. See [detail](#pagination).

### The query

```graphql
query {
  users(
    searchKeyword: "user@example.com"
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id

        lastLoginAt
        isAnonymous
