So as far as @designbygio’s PR is concerned, we’re saying go with the first example in @rriemann’s mockup, which does:

**username** Full Name

```
**username** Full Name

```

Still linking to username of course, but dropping the link styling, since the interactivity is obvious enough in the context of a search drop-down.

The second example in @rriemann’s mockup is a separate discussion and PR altogether. I think this is what we’re proposing:

1. IF `enable names` and `display name on posts` are _enabled_, and `prioritize username in ux` is _disabled_  
(i.e. Full Names will display first by default, as shown on Meta)
2. THEN, also display Full Name first in drop-down-search results.
