Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.The realname module overrides the core user/autocomplete to allow searching by the real name, but Views uses a different autocomplete callback: admin/views/ajax/autocomplete/user. It'd be great if realname could override that as well!
The behavior is a little different, because views supports multiple values with commas, but I think it should be possible to make a special callback function for views that calls to realname_autocomplete() to do the real work.

dsnopekHere's a patch that works in my testing. Unfortunately, because
realname_autocomplete()ends withdrupal_json_output()we can't call it in the implementation of the Views autocomplete callback, so this has some copy-paste from that function. A little refactoring could put the shared code into a new function, but I just wanted to share this right away - it's only a first pass :-)Comment #3
