I just found it strange that the username would be present in the drop down, but you couldn't search by it. I created a patch that changes the module to match the search string to either the realname or the username. The patch is attached if anyone wants it, or if it should become a additional feature to the module.

Thank you !

Honestly I'd prefer to have this as an option, so please submit a patch in that sense and against -dev.

Drupal 8 is already in alpha, so new features won't be added to the 6.x branch of this project, and for now, there's still no 7.x branch.

I'm gonna close this very old issue but if someone wants to step as maintainer feel free to do it.
