Search Sal Orlenard or Death. Sal Orlenard comes up with 17 matches and even though his name matches every single letter, he comes up as 9th on the list. Number one belonging to salamander Orlenard. Death come up with 400+ players in a random order that makes it pure cancer to look for. Can we please fix this?

Mao is another example of 400+ players in a random order which is time consuming to search for.

And if they fix this: Could we please also fix the issue when you drag a character from a chat or corp/other entity from a show info window into a contract’s Private recipient field that the game does not need to look for the name and give you potentially dozens of results? I dragged a unique entity with a unique ID from a chat or show info window into the text box after all.
