Thank you for reporting this.

Its due to a poorly written mysql query. In your server error logs, you'll probably see, "poorly written SQL query."

This SQL query adds User Group searching when User Groups are not needed. So your query gets hung up while it goes through every single user/group looking for the search term - and if there is no search term, that is all your users and all of your user groups.

Im aware of it and have created a fix for it about a week AFTER 7.7.2 was released (2019-07-02).

7.7.3 should be available very soon, with this fix and one other known issue (a display issue) as of today.

In my tests, the poor SQL query is inly triggered when you enter NO search terms, and then submit the page for searching. The work-around until 7.7.3 is released, is to remember to enter something to search for, before submitting the page.
