Subject: [PATCH] Improve name highlight matching
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Special characters at the end of a name are ignored
- Non-ASCII characters in the middle of a name can be replaced with
  any other non-alphanumeric character

So, for instance, with a user named 'te•st••':
'test', 'te st', and 'te-st' would all highlight them
