Description

Just an idea I had today while searching for a keybase user with a very common name in their username to add to a new chat. I typed in their first name and was returned with all of the people with that text in their username, including people I don't know/follow on keybase. It would be nice if there was a way to either search only through users I "know" (e.g. have chatted with) or users I am following. Alternatively, it might be nice to be able to prefer/sort those users at the top of the list returned when searching to keep the user from having to scroll through the list looking for the right user.
