Use the legacy browser to find players by nickname.

Not the new browser.

step by step tutorial:

go to a title in Maniaplanet.

Go to multiplayer.

You need or Legacy browser button or New Browser button the down left side.

New browser: New browser is something nadeo experiments with i believe.

Legacy Browser is the browser in TM1.

Click on Legacy Browser and Press All.

There you see a list of Server and Players.

Press players and press the icon of Maximize or the Glasses.

Players are shown with login but they also work with Nicknames.

Thats the way i suggest.

Isn't it so that even in the legacy browser only the login will be found?
For searching by login for users that are offline you can use the mania-stars formular :D

The field with the name will autocomplete the login and it will also dislay the nickname. It can be kind of useful i think.
But since you only see the nickname of a player and many players have a different logins and nicknames you often can't find someone :(

I think there is no was to search directly for the nickname and even if there was a way the special chars that many players use to make their names look cooler will cause problems.

I would suggest a list with players you met in the past games you played. (Like on the playsation as far as i know).
