In this case, you should look into all the sources that will have user information.

if you are not sure of sources where and all user information would be available then you should run search index=* usernameformat1 OR usernameformatinemail OR usernameformat2

different sources will record username in different formats for example windows authentication you might see just username but email logs will have email address rather username. So you should run a search specifying all formats of username in search.

you can’t use meta search the one you shared above. That will only look at meta fields source,sourcetype, index and _time and host. That will not give info inside the event.
