**Users can hide real names**: If checked, users who have set a :ref:`display name <about_me>` may choose to be searchable only by their display name, and will not be found in searches for their real name. In the site administration section of the site, users are always searchable by their real names. An administrator (site and institution) always sees the display name, first and last name and username.

**Search usernames**: If checked, usernames can be searched on as part of "Search Users" on the :ref:`dashboard <dashboard>` and via :ref:`Find friends <find_friends>`.

26.

**Anonymous comments**: If checked, logged-out users / users without a login can leave comments on public pages or pages they can access via secret URL.

Search settings

28.

Mahara comes with a search plugin that allows you to search for users and pages. If you install another search plugin, you will be able to select which one to use for your site.

29.

The internal search plugin can be configured in the *Plugin administration*.

Group settings

31.

Mahara cannot only be used for individual work but also to work collaboratively in groups. Some settings are available in that area.

32.

**Who can create groups**: You decide whether administrators, administrators and staff or everyone can create groups. The default setting is the most permissive "everyone" because Mahara is user-centered and gives the individual users a great deal of control over what they want to do. If you choose to limit the group creation to administrators (and staff), these need to be contacted to set up groups. There is no internal group request system.

33.

**Who can create public groups**: Choose whether everyone or only administrators can create :ref:`public groups <public_group>`. These are groups for which you do not need to be a member of the group or even have a login to Mahara to view the group homepage, member listing and discussion forums.
