searchText = searchText + '%';


results = [SELECT Id, Name, Email, User_Number__c  FROM User WHERE 
  (Name LIKE :searchText) OR 
  (Email LIKE :searchText) OR
  (User_Number__c LIKE :searchText)];

system.debug('Found = ' + results.size());
// this does fuzzy matching, for exact matches ditch the % and use equals . (Name = :searchText)
// this assumes all search fields are strings

I'm not sure I understand the question but assuming you need to search across certain fields on User objects then native functionality will do, no coding required.
Look at the the Object Manager > User  > Search Layouts
And here too.

Else you're into SOQL territory I would imagine....
