[ARCHIVED] Course API sis_user_id lookup

Hello,

The following API query used to work:

"GET", "https://canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/<course_id>/search_users?search_term=" & uid, False

uid is our university id, which matches up with the sis_user_id in the canvas user record. So it seems that looking up users by using sis_user_id as the search_term no longer works, but I do not see any entries in the canvas API change log that seems to correspond to this change.

If I replace the uid field with the canvas user id, the lookup works. However we do not store the canvas user id in our system.
