Description

Which is useless, as this name is in 99% unique. There is also no ability (via GUI) to disable this new autolinking.

I propose to enable Autolinking switcher for this field.

Yes.

The name field has special behaviour hardcoded, I don't know how easy this will be to change, but I'm tagging it good-first-bug in case someone is feeling brave. :)

In 10657:

xprofile: don't auto-link the Name field to a search.

Display names ought to be almost always unique. Performing a member
directory search on the default "Name" field (auto-linked) is only
going to retrieve the member whose profile you were on when you clicked
the search link.

Removing this hardcoded exception allows site administrators to choose
whether this field is auto-linked via the existing wp-admin Extended
Profiles metaboxes.

Fixes #6955
