## (Compatibility Break / Security Issue) Disabling User Directory search powered by the ma1sd Identity Server
User Directory search requests used to go to the ma1sd identity server by default, which queried its own stores and the Synapse database.
ma1sd current has [a security issue](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/issues/44), which made it leak information about all users - including users created by bridges, etc.
Until the issue gets fixed, we're making User Directory search not go to ma1sd by default. You **need to re-run the playbook and restart services to apply this workaround**.
*If you insist on restoring the old behavior* (**which has a security issue!**), you *might* use this configuration: `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_user_directory_search_enabled: "{{ matrix_ma1sd_enabled }}"`
