The more general question is to have full wildcard support in user name searches. I brought this up under "Finding a user by substring match" in this forum.

We run a forum in a research environment. In this case the forum users don't stay anonymous, like in this one, but in contrast should be clearly identifiable. We have enabled 'Alias' in our forum and suggest that users set the alias to the full name. The old user name lookup logic, which matches leading substrings, reduces essentially to a search by first name in this case. If one wants to find by family name, a non-admin is out-of-luck.
