When I do a search for users looking for me only the first word and last name .
How do I get to search using all the words contained in the first and last name ?
Thanks in advance.

Михаил, at present time the search looks for the first word only. This question has been discussed here: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/32225 .
So to change this is considered as a complicated custom code modification.
If you are not familiar with the code modification, it would be better for you to find a developer who can help you. You can do it here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists .

Or if you sure that this new functionality is essential for all oxwall users, then feel free to submit your idea at Oxwall uservoice to set it priority higher. You can do it here:  http://oxwall.uservoice.com/forums/13756-ideas-for-oxwall .

Welcome Taissa.
How can it not be important?
If you search by name , and searches only by name.
This is absolutely wrong.
Why when you choose " send " in the field " for whom" , the search is for all words .
Why is this not done in the search for users?

Михаил, obviously, there are a lot of things still should be done: Plugin updates for review, Keeping Oxwall up to date with the new trends and features and the Users Search is including. This is what we are thinking about constantly within the small team. And this is what we are doing, not so fast, as somebody would like. But we move forward and going to improve each point. And we will announce our upcoming plans in our blog, please follow the link: http://blog.oxwall.org/ .

Concerning the messages plugin user search it works by using the Java Script. And basically you should find the user by the first word and only after this can you make search by second word.

For example, if you have  the user Brad Pitt and would like to send him message for the first time, you can't find him by using Pitt. First you should type Brad and after Brad Pitt has been displayed you will be able to use Pitt for search.

Hello. What you write is true and everything is clear .
H why search " send a message " is excellent.
A search by name distinct from it ? Why is that?
If the search has been everywhere in the " send a message " it would be great .
I wish you success .

Михаил, the searches are different because these are different features: User search and Message Plugin. They are not mutually dependent.

That does not need to be different.
Or search for the user in the " send " did quite another developer ?

Михаил, yes you are right. The User Search and Message Plugin these are different functionalities which are developed by various developers. As I said earlier we are always thinking about improving our software and upgrade the Search functionality  is one of the points of our plans.
