Description of problem:

While testing bz 1468388 i noticed that the ~ operator is not handled properly

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create multiple users (eng-user1, eng-user2, bob, sam)
2. Perform some tasks with each of the users.
3. Monitor -> Tasks.
4. Search user ~ eng

Actual results:
Empty search results

Expected results:
Tasks run by users with "eng" anywhere in their user name are returned. See docs [1] "... If no wildcard is specified, the string is treated as if surrounded by wildcards: rhel7"

Additional info:
The workaround here is to add wildcards to the search like:
user ~ eng-*

This could be an issue for customer who use usernames that contain other information they wish to search on, other then a literal username. For example all service accounts may be prefixed by "serv-servname-".
