that's not the point. your example is misleading; you suggest '/searchnick m' which seems to imply that the wildcards around 'm' are necessary to check for 'm' at any position in a nickname, whereas '/searchnick m' has the same effect.

it isn't a good idea to enclose the search term in - what if a user specifically wanted to search for a substring at the beginning or end of a nickname?
