Comment (by tw2113):

 Big conflict with adding username searching is that BuddyPress doesn't
 store user information as username. It's by user ID.

 Perhaps, we could do a boolean based filter to conditionally search users.
 Basically, if the filter returns true, we do a user lookup by username. If
 we find a valid user, then we add the sql clause for also searching for
 the ID column based on the found user's ID.

 See diff attached.
