I get completely different results for these tests, which I've
summarised below (thanks to http://www.tablesgenerator.com/).

These are exactly the results I would expect, logged in as a normal
(student) user, searching for another normal user who has set a display
name and a preference to hide their real name (where applicable).

However it has occurred to me that, since 'Search usernames' has no
effect if 'Never display usernames' is enforced (and nor should it, as
you pointed out above), perhaps these two settings would be better
combined into one. What do you think (and if you agree, what do you
think it should it look like / how should it be worded)?

Title:
  Site option to prevent display of usernames

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There are a few places in Mahara where usernames are displayed to
  ordinary users (e.g. user/find.php and user/online.php). This may be a
  privacy issue for sites where email addresses are used as usernames.

  This patch adds a site option enabling the admin to prevent usernames
  being displayed to ordinary users anywhere in the site.
