Use the searchBy parameter to find user by email address

Use the searchBy parameter to find user by email address

I'm trying to find a user is Zoho Desk via the Api. In the documentation I see that there is the possibility to add a searchBy parameter in the request. But I can't find how the search values should be formatted. I've tried multiple things and get either a 500 error or a 422 with the message "The value passed for the 'searchBy' parameter is invalid".

I'm trying to find a user based on an email address.

Some examples of thing I tried:
https://desk.zoho.eu/api/v1/users?searchBy=emailAddress%3Djohn%40example.com
https://desk.zoho.eu/api/v1/users?searchBy=%22emailAddress%3Ajohn%40example.com%22

Can you provide me with an example of how to format the value to send with the searchBy parameter?
