XF 2.0 Alert User criteria

[GeekyPhilip]

Hi,

I am trying to configure an alert for a single user. When I enter Phil in the username field it selects all users with Phil in their username (25) rather than exactly Phil.
I have read the manual but there is no information about expressions that may limit this to exactly that user, although as the field is "Username" I would expect it to be only one user anyway.

Any advice?

Thanks

The username search is a "contains" search. (Most of the text-based fields are that.) There aren't other approaches exposed.

In this case, I'd likely recommend using the email, as that is more likely to be unique to a user.
