The following example is a simple query to find a user by username:

username eq "christy"

You can join filter expressions by using the and and or operators and grouping them in parentheses. For example, to find all users who have a family name of Smith and a first name that starts with the letter W, use the following query: 

(name.family eq "Smith") and (name.given sw "W")
