Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions
In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.
Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
--"John D" will populate correctly
--"jdoe" will populate correctly
--"Doe" will NOT populate correctly
REQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).
Thank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

We hope to extend this feature to comments. Some Japanese customers want it.

Support Japanese Multi-byte text. We want to be able to search for collaborators using parts of their name instead of just English first name and email address
