Feature request: Username search
Reported by Rick Guyer | March 2nd, 2010 @ 05:33 PM | in 0.8
It would be useful if searches looked within the username field. For example, a search for 20couch could return all tweets containing the term 20couch and all tweets by 20couch.
Two questions.
1) Should it be an exact match, or a partial match?
Exact match
Search: couch
Returns tweets by: @couch
Doesn't return tweets by: @20couch
Partial match
Search: couch
Returns tweets by: @couch @20couch @CouchParty
2) Would be be more intuitive to allow a username search only if the @ character is in the search?

Implemented #2. I like it. Makes sense I think.
