Search has not "degraded", but it was changed back to database search (DNN 9.0 and 9.1.x used Lucene search index). You should be able to append "%" to perform a left search - usually this is performed while you type and exact search upon enter.
Search includes fields username, email. firstname, lastname and displayname.
