Issue
SB+ handles members’ preferred vs. given names inconsistently, both when displaying and searching.
Recommendation
SB+ should always search on both the given and preferred member name (Given “Preferred” Surname), so that John "Paul" Doe can be found whether looking for a John or a Paul.
Display behavior, in my opinion, should always include member preferred name. That could be like today (“Paul Doe”) or could be fully qualified (“John ‘Paul’ Doe”). I’d prefer the latter, since I don’t always know members’ given vs. preferred names offhand, but either will do.
