[keycloak-dev] Improve search for a specific user in the admin console

Thanks for your answer and your sugestion. I just think it is not
interesting to use two tools to operate the solution: the console itself
and another application just to get the user id.

Anyway, your suggestion gave me another idea and I got a workaround for the
problem by just changing the Admin Theme. I implemented the same filter
idea in the "admin/resources/js/controllers/users.js" file. It really is a
workaround but it makes me comfortable to wait for the new version of the
console.

Thanks
