Perhaps an idea for your friend to add searching for a part of a name,
quite a basic feature.

If you look for 'DIEP', then i don't find a single game of mine.
If you look for 'diepeveen' then forget it too. Hardly games
I need to look for 'Diepeveen', 'diepeveen','Diepenveen' and 'diepenveen'
and 'diepveen' and DIEPEVEEN and DIEPENVEEN.

Despite that i still award it the price: "Best linux chess database".
