Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I want to be able to filter views on an individual user.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the PropertyFilter I want to have a third option (next to Property and Cohort) that allows you to search a list of users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could look up the distinct ID or email address for example

Additional context

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the PropertyFilter component in the PostHog frontend codebase. Identify how existing filters (Property, Cohort) are implemented, then add a third option for individual user filtering. Look for patterns in the code to integrate a user search.
