 Many sites use the login name and do not display the real name of a user.

 If you want to write a message to another user, autocompleter will not
 work with login-name.

 I'd love to see this feature included in buddypress, so I modified the
 code of bp-core-classes.php

 Line 1101 and 1102 were modified:

 {{{
                 $total_users_sql = apply_filters(
 'bp_core_search_users_count_sql', "SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT u.ID) as id FROM
 {$wpdb->users} u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID =
 pd.user_id WHERE {$status_sql} AND (pd.value LIKE '%%{$search_terms}%%' OR
 u.user_login LIKE '%%{$search_terms}%%') ORDER BY pd.value ASC",
 $search_terms );
                 $paged_users_sql = apply_filters(
 'bp_core_search_users_sql',       "SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as id,
 u.user_registered, u.user_nicename, u.user_login, u.user_email FROM
 {$wpdb->users} u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID =
 pd.user_id WHERE {$status_sql} AND (pd.value LIKE '%%{$search_terms}%%' OR
 u.user_login LIKE '%%{$search_terms}%%') ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}",
 $search_terms, $pag_sql );
 }}}

 user_login was added to the query.

 If you have concerns if everybody wants to have this, you could user a
 define that can be set in bp-custom.php for example.
