 currently in buddly list search, it only matches whole name.

 Is there any way to match start until space then match start of next word.

 Something like if I type "as df" it'd search for "as[^ ]* df"

 This comes up frequently with names like Matt.  Typing "Matt Doe" should
 match "Matthew Doe".

 Also would be useful for first initial / last name for overlaps.
