Description

When trying to add users to a circle, the live search only greps in the user name, but not the full name.

However very often, the actual user name is not visible, for example when using the the JavaScript XMPP Chat App, or simply by only knowing the user in real life.

Also, the standard user search for example when sharing a file, full name search is supported as well.

Research direction

Start by locating the live-search code used by “Add Member” and “Link a Group,” then compare it with the standard file-sharing user search mentioned in the issue. Done means both circle search functions also match users by full name, not only username.
