Yeah.. I don't understand why this is not already part of the core since most other fields are searchable

What do I need this for? I haven't done much user admin stuff lol. It's for searching 'anything' you want, across all users?

Well Xenforo already supports the feature to "batch update users" ACP > Users > Batch Update Users but it was missing one important field to filter the users by the website they have set.

If your forum has e.g. been a vB forum previously and migrated to XF, the website fields can have invalid values of http:// and https://. Those can be fixed by searching "exact match" and then for the matching users selecting "remove website"

Similar thing for spam (profile links) accounts, where you can filter "http" in the field (no exact match) and also select user messages to some low number like 0 or 1, then those users you can also either remove totally, or only remove the website
