Public bug reported:

Mahara 1.8.1

Hi, I was training a teacher with Mahara the other day, and he wants to
keep track of students work by having them share their pages with him.

When I showed him the "Shared with me" screen, to show him how he would
find these pages, I realised he wouldn't be able to search by student
name or ID.

So, in order to search for pages by user he would have to ask students
to either tag their pages with their name, or have them put their name
in the page title. Both of these options add to the complexity of
instructions to students and increase work load, being work arounds.

This would apply to other scenarios as well, if I wanted to see pages
shared with me by my friend "Jo Blow" I wouldn't be able to do that
currently.

So, the wishlist item is that users have a way of searching pages
"Shared with me" by the other users name.

Thanks.
Shane.
