pre_get_posts WP_User_Query

I’m trying to run a custom search, which filters via an array set in ACF.

Essentially, I’m storing a list of users (contacts) in an array, and, if that is set, I want to search through those users, only.

I thought this would work:

function searchfilter($query) {
  $my_contacts = array(11, 19); // setting just to check it's working
  $search_type = get_query_var('search_type');   
  if ($query->is_main_query() && $search_type == 'contacts' ) {
    $query->set('include', $my_contacts);
  }
  
  return $query;
  }
  
  add_filter('pre_get_posts','searchfilter');

But it doesn’t limit the query at all.

Appreciate any help!
