I think so. This is the way that our -find commands behave:

# ipa user-find --last=
--------------
1 user matched
--------------
  User login: admin
  Last name: Administrator
  Home directory: /home/admin
  Login shell: /bin/bash
  UID: 1198000000
  GID: 1198000000
  Account disabled: False
  Password: True
  Kerberos keys available: True
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

I wondered where to add this information, this is what "man ipa" says:

       find commands take an optional criteria string as their only positional argument. If present,
       all  objects  with an attribute that contains the criteria string are displayed. If an option
       representing an attribute is set, only object with the attribute exactly matching the  speci‐
       fied  value  are displayed. Without parameters all objects of the corresponding type are dis‐
       played.

We may enhance this documentation if we find it insufficient.
