I have several users who have added their first name and their nickname to their profile like this:

Susanne "Susie"

I added the Name field as an exposed filter in my view. I tried both "contains" and "contains any word". When I search for Susie in my member directory, this user is not returned as a result.

I then tried adding a separate "nickname" text field, and then added an exposed Combined Fields Filter to the view using the Name field and the Nickname field. However, the Name field appears to not work at all with the Combined Fields Filter.

How can I either get the exposed Name field filter to return the value in quotation marks, or how can I make the Name field work with the Combined Fields Filter?

Workaround: I wasn't using the "Generational" field, so I relabeled that as "Nickname", and created a new format like this:

((((t+ig)+(i="s-")+im)+if))+jc

The bolded part adds the Generation/Nickname value in the proper location, wrapped in quotation marks (which are hidden if no Generational value exists).

If you add each name component, you can add each component to the combined filter.
