Own name doesn't autopopulate search fields

Post by Tammy Stawicki »

This has been a frustration of mine for awhile. If I want to use the search page to look for horses I bred/owned, my name doesn't autopopulate. So I type out Tammy and another Tammy's name comes up but never mine :( don't know if this is how it was coded for some reason thinking you wouldn't search for yourself, or something weird my computer is doing.

I’ve also noticed this with mine! Just thought it was a quirk of a short name but maybe not

Same here. For some time I’ve had to fully type out my own name, it can be annoying.

The auto-suggest for sim players was originally written for choosing people to send private messages to. So you wouldn't need to send a message to yourself, so you were omitted from the suggestions. Later, I added the auto-suggest to searching for owners/breeds. But I forgot that you might want to search for yourself.
I fixed it.

Was also annoying for me, but my phone Auto suggests my name so I never thought to post it here! Good call!
