1) Add an &#39;a&#39; flag or some such in order to explicitly allow alias searching
2) Use alias searching when OPT_LISTBYFIRSTNAME is set.

The reason for this is that I foresee most aliases being used for cases where someone who is calling for the person in question *thinks* that they are searching for the person&#39;s first name and isn&#39;t aware that they&#39;re using an alias. For instance, iirc, &quot;Tilghman&quot; isn&#39;t your first name, but most people probably think it is. So if they were searching for you in a directory using first name as an index, they would probably search for &quot;Tilghman&quot;, unaware that it&#39;s actually an alias. Same goes for people who typically go by shortened forms of their first name. They may be listed in the directory as &quot;Robert&quot; but we could allow an alias of &quot;Bob&quot; since most people calling in know him as that.

I think suggestion number 1) is the best solution since it follows principle of least surprise. Administrators will know straight away that by enabling the &#39;a&#39; flag, they&#39;re allowing an alias search. The big thing to keep in mind is that the flag should &quot;stack&quot; so to speak. In other words, if alias searching is allowed, that shouldn&#39;t exclude the ability to also search by first or last name.</pre>
