Comment:

 I agree, improvements like this would be a good thing. Anything that takes
 a more considered view and then returns more helpful user info is a good
 thing.

 I'll add a note to the new templates project to reference this ticket with
 a view to looking at this aspect for those templates where we are also
 able to extend this in more detail, on existing templates i.e bp-legacy
 templates we would be limited to simple string changes, like for like in
 case additional elements upset layouts.

 A few observations:

 * Can we maybe extend this a bit further, maybe returning the failed
 search string for reference or similar detail

 * To some extent aspects like this are ones that developers can and do
 extend via overloaded and modified template files.

 * On a very speedy check I get quite inconsistent and erroneous results
 running checks on members names existing and non-existant so there needs
 to be some detailed checking here.
