this is somewhat the reverse of http://drupal.org/node/436564 - i am creating a view for searching user records, and i would like to be able to search on the value of the 'name' field in the users table. but that's getting translated into a filter on realname values. is there any way to force it to look at just the plain username value?

I am having the same issue with drupal 7. I have a view that uses the( [name] == User: Name ) replacement pattern. but this has been modified by real name module to the real name I set up.

what I mean, in my view I rewrite the result of a field as a link and in the link I use replacement pattern [name] == User: Name.
you would expect the link to be something like example.com/admin but the result i get is example.com/real name

Now views allow you to add username and real name. I expected them to be different but both fields are outputting the real name.

Don't hijack this issue for D7. For views in D7 the 'User: Name' filter only works on the actual username and not the real name, as this issue is desired.
