Bug: Untrimmed spaces prevent successful search of texter name when assigning texts

[ZevH]

Describe the bug
In the "Texters" panel of the Edit page in Spoke administration, when using the "Search for texters to assign" field, it sometimes happens that a texter cannot be located by first name but can be located by last name. After some experimenting, I believe the problem is caused by untrimmed spaces (or perhaps other "invisible" characters) in one or both name fields. The reason I think this is that I can consistently find the texter if I type two spaces between the first and last name when searching.

To Reproduce
The problem is consistently reproducible with certain texter names, presumably because of the way their name fields were first populated when they made their account.

Expected behavior
First and last name fields should both be trimmed of white space and invisible characters (on both left and right) whenever a texter creates an account in Spoke or modifies their profile. For additional robustness, the values of these fields should also be trimmed before attempts to match to what the admin types into the texter assignment field.

Screenshots
Please see the attached four screen shots which illustrate attempts to locate "Elizabeth Naegle":

1. Search by first name fails to match texter
2. Search by last name does match texter
3. Search by first name, space, start of last name fails to match texter
4. Search by first name, two spaces, start of last name does match texter

• Version 10.13.6

This is ready to be picked up, but needs to be reproduced!

I would suggest that someone who wants to pick this up create a few new dummy Spoke accounts, deliberately inserting an extra space at the end of the first name when setting up the account, and/or inserting an extra space at the beginning of the last name, e.g. "Test " as first name and "McTest" as last name. Then try searching for texter "Test M" and "Test M" to see what happens.

An update: The bug is still there when trying to assign to Elizabeth Naegle, exactly as shown in the four screenshots above. Hopefully you can reproduce it by searching to assign texts to that name. However, I am unable to reproduce this bug by inserting extra spaces after First Name or before Last Name when updating my Spoke profile. They are getting trimmed properly. So I don't know the cause of the problem.
