Warning about changing your name

https://netdocuments.force.com/NetDocumentsSupport/s/article/205218000

Be careful when changing your account name. This may affect your ability to search for documents created or modified by your user account. For example, on the Advanced Search page, selecting the Me link will insert your account name into the search box. If your account name changed, Search will only find those documents that match the current name.

If a user named Michael uploads a document, it will be labeled with Created by Michael. If Michael changes his account name to Mike and then selects the Me link when searching, Search will insert Mike into the search box. The search will not find his earlier document because they are labeled with Michael.
