Is there a way to wildcard search both text and user mentions?

Hi,

We have multiple confluence pages set up in a space with various team members names and roles in various formats. Some pages use text for the names while others use mentions.

Is there a way to wildcard search a portion of someones name and have results returned of all pages the term is found? 

For example, I'd like to search for "Bob" and have "Bob Smith", "Bob Jones", "@Bob.Smith", and "@Bob.Jones" all be returned.

Is there a macro that helps accomplish this? Can the query be structed in CQL?

So the workaround I used was to make a table with each row dedicated to a different page then used the 'page include' macro to include a copy of each page I wanted to look at on each row, then I wrapped the whole table in a 'table filter' macro and enabled global filtering.

This lets me type in a name into the global filter and have the page where that name is found get surfaced on the table. 

Not exactly elegant, but it works. If anyone has a better solution though I'm all ears!
