New change to "Find Users"

Hey, I was just wondering if searches with partial word searches are still possible on outpost. Sometimes people with names difficult to type can be searched with greater ease with the old search system. Thanks.

Seems like it's not possible to search in "display" names. This was pretty useful. I hope this feature can be brought back.

You can still do this but the results are limited in quantity. There's no point searching for some generic username like "Bob", you'll just get thousands of results back.

I tried to search my friend's name "Nowada" and it only returns someone with /id/Nowada.

Feel really restricted without being able to find display names to be honest.

But sometimes typing the full name of a person doesn't work and I did rather use bp.tf to search then link to Outpost that way. This find user thing now isn't up to my expectation

I'm pretty sure it's steam url or something, not too sure. If it is, it's pretty annoying. :P

Pretty sure it's steam url you must check and also if needed of course I'd have to copy and paste, point is that display names search was pretty convenient.
