GitHub - Failed to locate other GitHub public accounts to add as collaborator

I am new to GitHub and ran into a strange problem. I have a GitHub Enterprise account, and am trying to add other GitHub account users as collaborators to a repo. When I searched for their user names, it errored with a message "XXX isn't a GitHub member". I am very sure that the users I am trying to add just created free public accounts on Github.com and I am searching with the right user names. Can anyone shine some light?

Thanks,

Annie

GitHub.com and your GitHub enterprise are two completely different different instances. They do not share any user data.

This means to add a collaborator to a project on your GitHub enterprise instance the user needs to create an account on this GitHub enterprise instance and not on GitHub.com
