Spectral Workbench search isn't working consistently for usernames

[bronwen9]

Someone has been trying to search spectral workbench for uploads from a user, but is not able to locate them using a user name.

Their question is here: https://publiclab.org/questions/nnn16/02-27-2019/how-do-i-search-for-the-spectra-recorded-by-a-specific-user

I tried some demo searches-- some usernames were searchable, others were not.

This is a great issue that's related to our Education expansion
