(sorry, for all the suggestions, but there's a suggestion box, so may as well use it...) When searching for trade partners or friends, the text box of &ldquo;ID-based search&rdquo; should accept wildcards (not regex – keeping it simple) such as the question mark [ ? ] and/or asterisk [ * ]. If no wildcards are entered, it should assume and asterisk at the end of every search and then bring up a list of players whose ID matches the pattern from which one can be selected. The search should also be case-insensitive by default. Reasoning :  A lot of players have IDs containing numbers at the end or complicated cAsE-swAppIng or mixed case and mixed letter/number. A normal person's brain easily remembers the word portion of an ID, especially if is spells something pronounceable. However, for someone named AmpHiteRe84O29, the brain remembers only amphitere…&lt;blah&gt; … . Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between a zero [ 0 ] and the capital letter &ldquo; O &rdquo; in the game font at a glance (also the number one [ 1 ] and lowercase letter &ldquo; l &rdquo;). I've lost many players (permanently) with whom I would have wanted to trade/battle/cheer because I saw their name, thought I knew what to search for, but when the search page loaded, I could not bring up anyone named what I memorized because my memory is not eidetic. It's difficult to type in AmpHiteRe84O29 (made up ID) over and over exactly right.  While on the topic of searching, you should be able to search for battle partners and cheer partners in addition to trade and befriend partners. — Amphitere
