    Buddypress search function only seems to look at actual names. Is there a way to enable searching by username?

    I don’t recommend to change the core files of buddypress. The best way to do it is to write a custom code (I don’t know how to guide you).
    So if you don’t mind changing the core files, here is a quick way.

    Open /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes.php and change the
    $sql = “AND pd.value LIKE ‘%%$search_terms%%'”;
    to
    $sql = “AND (pd.value LIKE ‘%%$search_terms%%’ OR u.user_login LIKE’%%$search_terms%%’)” ;

    If someone can guide us how to do it in bp-custom.php, it would be great.
