Today a friend told me about this behaviour, and after
a quick test I agreed with him about considering it a bug,
so I filed https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23627
I hope the description is clear enough: corrections here,
in private, or by directly editing the report are welcome.
* Friends search/filter should take into account Usernames as well,
not Display names only
As a user, I'd like to be able to find someone who is in my Friends by
both her username or her Display Name.
Right now, I can only look up for friends by their Display Names.
As soon as they change their Display Name, I'm not able anymore to
find them - until I know and learn/remember her new Display Name.
Currently the Friends list provides me with data about both names
(Display Names are shown by default; just hover to see Usernames).
Since this information is already there, the filtering system should
use this information, and allow me to find someone in my Friends list
when I search for her Username.
Example:
* my friend has Username = "john.doe" and Display Name = "John Doe"
* I search for him in my Friends list by writing "John", or "Doe"
* my friend changes his Display Name into "Gianni Rossi". This is not
meant to alter the relationship in any way
* if I look for "John", "Doe", "John Doe", or "john.doe" I can't find
my friend anymore
