Small Miiverse update lets you search for users by nickname

A small update has been applied to Miiverse. Going forward, users can search for others by their nicknames. Miiverse previously allowed for searching to be done only by a person’s Nintendo Network ID.

Miiverse’s “NintendoMarty” announced the news earlier today:

There has been a small update to the Wii U version of Miiverse today.

Up until now, you could only search for other users by Nintendo Network ID, but now you can also search by nickname. To use this function, go to User Menu ? Search Users.

Please be aware that, although Nintendo Network IDs are unique, nicknames are not, so you may get multiple results when performing a search by nickname.

Thanks to TytyghAdd for the tip.
