Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I have to guess my colleges real name, when the only thing in my head is @skjnldsv

Describe the solution you'd like
We should have a "nickname" setting in the personal settings, which apps (Talk, Sharing, ....) could then check for additional matches when searching for autocomplete results.

  • Android
  • Desktop
  • iOS
  • Server

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing personal settings and autocomplete matching across the server, Talk, Sharing, Android, Desktop, and iOS; done means the nickname can be configured and is used for matching across the requested clients.
