So after the update, I, along with what I would assume to be a decent number of people, changed my username. I noticed that this change is shown on a user's profile page under the title 'Aliases'. I think this is a great feature, and should help prevent abuse. However, I noticed that only a user's current name is searchable.
For example, my previous username, BL4H00G4N4, is shown on my profile. Searching for that name, however, yields no results. I feel as if searching a user's previous aliases should come up with their current name, so as to further avoid confusion.

I'd love to hide my aliases. I experimented with a few temporary ones and now they're permanently attached to my profile. Ew.
