/realname includes color codes

[ghost]

I've had players complaining about the /realname command not working. Nicky doesn't display results unless you match both capitalization and color codes in your search, which makes it difficult to use for those who don't understand color codes. Plaintext, case-insensitive searching for nicknames would make searching much easier.

Colour codes are stripped from searches, so they have no effect.

Using case sensitive search was a choice, it makes it a little more efficient when searching large databases.

If you like though, I can include a case insensitive config in the next version.

I understand the capitalization choice and that is not much of an issue for players, however the color code issue is still a problem. When you attempt to search across color boundaries without specifying color codes, /realname does not return results. For example if I use /nick &5N&6a&7rwhal and then run /realname Nar my username does not show up. It only appears if I type a color code that is in between the characters such as /realname N&6, or if I type part of the name that is all one color. This is a problem for players with many color codes in their names.
