Bug Description

affects Mahara master (future 1.5)

When a site admin is a member of an institution, the search - like for everybody else - defaults to the user search within that institution. However, the site admin most often needs to search everybody. Therefore, it would be good if the institution search setting were ignored.

I would not propose that for institution admins as they are administering people in their institution and thus should find those at the first go.

    Make site admins search all users by default (bug #823593)

    When institution members go to 'Find friends', the drop-down defaults
    to filter by the user's institutions. This patch changes the default
    behaviour for site admins who are also in an institution from 'My
    institutions' to 'Everyone'.
