What is your suggestion's title?
Left-Right Trim in punishments search
Suggestion Details:
While searching on ban page, users often put an extra whitespace before or after the name. This could be due to habit or the way username was copied or could just be the autofill on phone which always adds an extra whitespace. Since the punishment search is whitespace sensitive, it returns a "does not exist page" in these cases. While it is not a serious problem, it has created some very frustrating situations for both players and staff.
I have personally searched for a username with added spaces many times, only for it to return nothing, then I just stopped whatever I was doing cause either the player was nicked or I remembered the IGN wrong.
Similarly this is annoying for staff (especially new ones) if they are searching for an IGN on forums first, then they will think that the IGN is a nick, so they will check ./realname ingame which will return "That nicked user is not in game right now" and get stuck in a virtual deadlock.
There is an easy fix to this problem and that is trim text before searching, any decent web dev knows that this can be fixed in one line of code by using search(queryBox.value.trim()).

How could this idea help improve JartexNetwork?
This will save users a ton of frustrating moments and time.
Extra Information:
This video clearly demonstrates how easy it is to get a whitespace into the search and how hard it is to notice it the first time.
