Well, let me give a different answer.

If I look in the database for "Mark" as a first name, I get 47,803 results for players (including "Markus," etc., which would also be returned). This will only increase with time, as we also return retired players. Even if we look only at active players, that returns 21,143 results.

There are also 1457 players with my last name, which is not particularly common.

There are 7 players with my first name and my last name, and that's a much more manageable set of results.

I hope this gives an idea why what you suggest might not be the most useful feature :-)

On the other hand if you'd enter "ar" instead of Mark, you wouldn't find any Mark - why is that? More importantly why is it diacritics sensitive? Since there are many nationalities and not obvious characters (czech ones included) wouldn't be better to display everything regardless of carons etc.?

BTW - I realized many chat users can't be found by search. I guess it is because you can qwrite anything as a nickname, can't you? Since you are still guided to your match-league-country, is there any chance to see teams and not (just) nicknames. Or remove the option to type different nickname than your buzzerbeater one? It would be useful to know who are you talking to.
