Search for an existing customer doesn't find user by name

I've changed this to a feature request.

The uc_addresses module, by design, avoids changing the way the uc_order module handles orders (except that, on checkout, addresses come from uc_addresses rather than past orders). If you can't find a customer by name when searching in /admin/store/orders/create, it is because the customer has not placed an order. The uc_order module searches previous orders only and doesn't know about the uc_addresses table.

It is not a bug in the strict sense that the uc_addresses code is functioning as designed. However, I think this is a great idea. Unless you have already have a patch, I will need to investigate if it's possible to hook into the order system's search. At this point, I don't know if it's even possible to do what you want without changes to the uc_order module.

Ok, I see. I just wanted to create a new order to my newly created customer (it's quite common task in a role of salesperson when an order is coming via phone for example;)).

I don't have a patch (at least yet).

Thanks,
Tormi
