Ability to enter the full SL username when searching for tags using the @xx... method
As things stand, when entering a search string via the @xx… method, the search terminates when any non-alphanumeric character is entered. Given the frequency of some first names, it becomes impossible to tag some people.

Hi! Right now you can search for the full username by simply not using any space, like this: @lukerowley
Would it be enough? I will soon add the possibility to use @luke.rowley as well. Let me know if it would help!

Luke Rowley it wasn't finding it the other way, so making it so the @given.surname structure would work well, so would @givensurname
It was just frustrating that it couldn't find someone from my Follow list with the first letters of their username as well. I got presented everyone else except someone I was following?

That's because you have to not use any space or dot to separate the name in the mention. Instead, you should search her like this: @raiinaka.
However, I will allow the dot so it's less confusing, thank you!
