Hi ADumith

yes, you can.

- Use a search box WebPart: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-box/
- Then the search filters: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-filters/
- And at least, a results WebPart, you can build your own visualization: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-results/layouts/#people

Have fun with this WebParts 😉

i recommend you to use the PnP Modern Search WebParts. You can choose your own visualization, search for peoples and integrate filters.

You can use the Search WebParts also for other search scenarios.

Hello!DaveMehr365

Thanks for reply me.

I was looking at the project but what I'm looking for goes further, actually I need a people page where the filters can be applied by the visiting user.

For example, location or department, etc.

Thanks in advance,

  Hello ADumith
  
  have you see the people layout?

  You can use profile properties from the current user or you can use properties as filter.

  ADumith you should look at doing this with Power Apps as you could have a filter box that filters on the department, job role, location and other info:

    This is very interesting, however I have a problem with it. When I collect the users from the AD, I even get the service accounts. So I decided to create a workflow to extract only the users and how many are active, but I haven't been able to get the flow to work either.
    
    Can you help me solve it?
    
    Thanks in advance.
