I'm sorry if I can't explain this right, but if you stay with me I'll provide an example which will clear it up.
At the moment, when you use the search bar at the top of the guild list, it only provides matches when you know either the exact name or the first few letters.

I know that probably doesn't really make any sense, but right now if you were looking for the guild Big Time Gods but you didn't quite know the whole thing, if you just put in Gods it just comes up with guilds that start with Gods, not ones that have it in the name.

If users are looking for guilds which have The in front of them (The Trust, The Grinders, The Four Elements, The Donors, The Hempire... there are way more) but didn't know that they would not find anything (searching for Trust comes up with Trusted ThugZ_ and Trusties... not The Trust).

In addition, it could be quite difficult to search for my guild but I don't really care about that.

So I think that the search should be expanded to match keywords in any of the name, not just the beginning; of course if it's possible and doesn't mash on the site load too much
