Fuzzy searches for members not finding names with numbers

Was trying to find the "G33ks". Couldn't find them, but it handles other partial names just fine.

  • Can you be a bit more specific, please? Actual examples would be swell.

  • g33kguy and g33kgurrl work for me as does b3achy.
    Perhaps the "gurrl" spelling was throwing off Fokian's search. Partial search for g33k did not work.

  • Here's one:

    Searching for "anne" finds:
    Anne
    raggedy anne
    ANNeNiPoT
    SiMPLy_ANNe
    Annilein

    but not anne216.

    I thought this was weird until I noticed that ANNeNiPoT, SiMPLy_ANNe, Annilein all have "Anne" listed at their first name in the real name blank.

    So, it looks like partial searches only find players which have the entered text as an entire "word" in either their username or their real name, but not when it is just a string in a bigger "word".  I.e. searching for "g33k" doesn't find g33kguy or g33kgurrl.
