The MSDN documentation isn’t precise on this point.

It says in one place: “Gets a collection of membership users where the user name contains the specified user name to match.”

Later it says, “FindUsersByName returns a list of membership users where the user name matches the supplied usernameToMatch for the configured applicationName.”

The SQLMembershipProvider supports wildcards, but the documentation doesn’t say whether I must also do so with my custom membership provider.

Edit: I’m really asking more about the intent of the Membership Provider rather than what I should do in my specific situation.

    The FindUsersByName function will do a match on the string you pass in.

    If you want it to do a partial match then you need to add ‘%’ on the end of the string you’re searching for.
