Description

Hello,

it would be helpful, when searching dialog while adding a member would include login alongside Name. We have LDAP user authentication.

User are defined like:

login: "name.surname" (w/o diacritic)
name:  "Surnamé, Náme" (w/ diacritic)

Versions:

Nextcloud: v13.0.1
Circles:   v0.13.6

In current version search only allow me to search by name. Also I have to search w/o diacritic. This is really hard.

So it would be really helpful, if there would be option to enter part of login (even surname etc.), or it would search ignoring diacritic. This way it would make it much more usable.

Thank you in advance for considering this.

Best regards,
Tomas.
