What do you have the "Show profile name as" set to on admin/settings/user 


If it's Real Name, try changing it to username.

i know that works.... But what i wanna do is
Show profile name as "Real Name"

Search member using "Username"


This way is to prevent someone from knowing their username except we tell our friends our username...

Jerome, sorry, I've given you the directions, but this is all I can do. I cannot give you the step-by-step instructions on how to make this modification.
