[Owncloud] "share with" autocompletion problematic

Hello,

we are using the current OwnCloud release and I do not know if this has been mentioned before: when setting up sharing for a directory or file in the web interface, the "share with" field offers autocompletion for user names. The way this works, however, is potentially annoying and irritating if for most users the "Display Name" has been set and consists of more than one word. Here is an example: if I want to share a file with "Albert Einstein" (login "aeinstein"), neither "einstein", nor "aeinstein" will work for autocompletion. Likewise, "Dr. Albert Einstein" (aeinstein) and "Dr. Albert Fuller" (afuller) get really awkward to select. I feel that autocompletion should also work for the login and, ideally, also for any part of the display name. Unfortunately, if you have a larger installation and many multi-word displaynames this is almost a showstopper class problem. Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
 Stefan
