you can just put .toLocaleLowerCase() after getPropery above

You don't need the nick == aSearchString
But, this doesn't quite do what this bug requests. What is requested is that nick should act as a "super-best" match. so the score should be 1 better than if it matched in display name - as is they would be equal (BEST + 1)

Please also adjust the test for this. There should be one test where the nick is the beginning of another persons name.

You don't need the if I think. All the other props are also just set to undefined if not set. Also, please lowerCamelCase NickName
