Sometimes when i search up a players name, i sometimes spell it wrong and the search results don't show anything. It is hard to get the correct spelling right for some players name.

Is it possible for our search section to have a list of possible names.

So if i typed mitoz (wrong spelling) into the search bar, the search results could come up as 'did you mean mithoz'

If you add an asterisk (*) instead of letters for the letters you are unsure of, it will come up as the correct name.

You need the correct amount of characters, and the letters you put in have to be correct.

OK let's say the asterix works, it still doesn't solve the problem of incorrect spelling. What I was trying to say is that I always spell peoples name wrong. Like law said a pop down bar while we type is a really good option..

Alright, it's a good idea, but unfortunately there are a lot of things on the list before it, maybe it will be used, but who know how long that'll take.
