[Enhancement] Search Reset Usernames

[DysektAI]

Describe the Feature Request

Issue

• Players that had Banned Usernames are by default set to TarkovCitizen+UserID (e.g., "TarkovCitizen4356113" 20 Characters) these can go beyond the 15 character limit
• These usernames can't be searched directly, instead the first 15 characters have to be searched then, users have to select the exact username which can be awkward

Observation

• TarkovCitizen is 13 characters and the UserID (1 - 10,000,000) is 1 - 8 characters
• Current max total characters in a username is 21
• This seems to be a design flaw of the username ban system in game

Proposed Solution Increase the max character limit to 21 to accommodate the length of TarkovCitizen+UserID format

Source Link For Validation

This works until UserIDs reach 100,000,000 The placeholder text of Between 3 and 15 characters should be retained to display the expected in game username limitations but might cause confusion

I think this is quite an edge case and increasing max characters will not solve it. As mentioned in Discor the search itself in Tarkov is limited to 15 characters, so to do a proper search (and not just hit the cached results) we need to remove the TarkovCitizen part and search for just the id.

Also, if you know the full name of the banned player you can just type in the UserID in the search:

Shebuka provided a simple workaround, but fortunately the fix is very easy as well as shown in #921

Nice validation fix with the regex!

But don't we still run in the limit of 15 characters in the actual search on BSG side? Is this working for searching for specific banned and cache miss players?

I was going to reply but before I could the fix was applied... 🤣 If we can just search relative by userID or redirect to the URL with the ID, why not just allow users to enter anything but secure and handle it on the backend, like stripping the "tarkovcitizen" out if it matches the beginning string, and do as you demonstrated and just query the actual UID instead which seems like is what was done.

I think the only thing that could possibly be improved further is to just redirect directly to the users profile page if results = 1 then tarkov.dev/player/ USERID but that's just being extra... Unless you got a trick up your sleeve to do that also @Razzmatazzz 👀 (May have unintended side affects though causing users to have to go back to the search if they accidentally hit an exact result when trying to search relatively)

Either way solid improvement and good execution from what I can see here! 👍
