Show Help and General Information
UMS People Search scans a database of UMS employee directory ("white pages") information for matches on a portion of a person's name or UMS user ID.
For a successful search, please consider the following:
- If you're not sure of spelling, use a blank or an asterisk to tell the search engine "there may be a few missing letters here". This is called "using a wild card".
- The search string has implied wild cards at its beginning and end. Hence the search string "scroo" might find Disney character Uncle Scrooge McDuck, if he were a current UMS employee.
- Searches are case insensitive. It does not matter if you enter your search string in upper or lower case letters.
- Full names are available without title, rank or suffix.
- Searches are performed on employees' UMS user ID (UMS ID), Preferred Name, and full name (i.e., "Donald F. Duck").
- When searching for a UMS or e-mail user ID, omit "@maine.edu" from the search string.
- Many names are available in the database with middle initial, so a search for "Fauntleroy Duck" may fail, but a search for "d f duck" might well succeed.
- Punctuation may be significant.
- Using the Disney character example above, we do not know whether to search for "Donald F. Duck" or "Donald F Duck" until we see the resulting entry, because the database has some people with a middle initial with a period and others with no period.
- Likewise, a name such as "St. Peter" might be in the database as "StPeter", "St. Peter" or "St Peter".
- If you know the campus for your employee of interest, select it from the drop down list of campuses to make your search more specific.
- Search results are limited in size. If a search would return "too many" entries, none are returned. You are currently limited to a maximum of 50 entries per search.
- A failed search returning no entries may have been too specific or too general. For example:
- "smith" will fail because it is too general, wheras "joa smith" may succeed.
- "Puddles Duck" will fail because searches are on the exact entries in the database, and the database contains no entries with the string "puddles" to the left of the string "duck" In general, there are no nicknames in the database, however some employees have asked their Human Resources office to use a Preferred Name and those are searchable.
- To make a search as accurate as possible, use as many letters as possible.
- Exact Search shows result with the exact full name or UMS user ID that you have put in the search box. For example:
- In exact search mode "Donald F Duck" will find anyone with with the exact full or preferred name "Donald F Duck" in the database.
- In exact search mode "Donald Duck" will give no results if there is nobody listed in the database with the exact full or preferred name "Donald Duck".
People Search returns public information from a database of active faculty and staff. Student employees are, in general, not in this database. Postal address and phone numbers are University, not home, information. If a person is associated with more than one department, campus, or telephone number, each is listed.
The e-mail address displayed is always an "@maine.edu" address and is the official University System e-mail address, but not necessarily the e-mail address used regularly by the employee. When another address is used, the University encourages faculty/staff to forward their official University System e-mail address to the e-mail address used regularly. This is easily accomplished in UMS GMail Settings.
To correct your information, please contact your Office of Human Resources. These offices are available online.
From time to time search requests may time out and result in a reported error for reasons unrelated to the search query itself. If search queries repeatedly time out or otherwise result in an error over an extended period of time please report the times of the attempts and the search queries used to US:IT Support Services.
