I just realized we can't search for all players with the same surname because we have to write in first name to search too. I bet it won't be difficult for search engine to allow searching only by surname, will it? It could help to find out origin of not familiar surname, to see what "relatives" your players have in BB world for fun, anything. It could help LAs in editing names too. If it is not easy to change, it is not a big deal.

I also think such a thing would be most welcome

Could you elaborate on this part? I have obviously done some name database editing and I cannot see how this would really help there. It would be a quick way to check if a given name is included in the database (provided there are players with that name), but even then you don't always know for sure from which country's database the name actually comes.

I support your suggestion though. It would simply be fun to be able to search more uncommon names this way.

Yeah I as well agree with this idea, cause many of time you are trying to write those letters from names, but there are so many different names to check with each till you`ll fined that surname.

Or at least it could work with just one letter in name if you have filled up surname with at least 4 letters and in other way as well.

This would be nice. I was just trying to search the other day to see if any of my players had "relatives" playing in the higher-up Aussie leagues, or elsewhere in the world. Tough to do when you have to add first name letters.
