Under Add multiple members, could the user selection be changed or a better user-friendly filter added to find and select users?

It becomes very difficult/impossible to find the users in a long list, especially when usernames are displayed instead of their real/names.
Where the single add member function makes it rather easy to find a user as it allows for input both username or names.
autocomplete_deluxe
$form['massadd'] = array( // '#type' => 'multiselect', '#title' => t('Select students to add to the group'), // '#default_value' => NULL, // '#size' => 15, '#required' => TRUE, '#type' => 'autocomplete_deluxe', '#autocomplete_deluxe_path' => url('autocomplete_deluxe/taxonomy/MY-FIELD-MACHINE-NAME', array('absolute' => TRUE)), '#multiple' => TRUE, '#autocomplete_min_length' => 0, '#autocomplete_multiple_delimiter' => ',', '#not_found_message' => "The term '@term' will be added.", );But I can't figure out what the machine field name is of the usernames? Any idea what I can try / need to use? Already tried og_user and user. Using the **user/autocomplete** which I found is used for the single add member works somewhat, but not sure if that's is loading a different interface for this. '#autocomplete_deluxe_path' => url('user/autocomplete', array('absolute' => TRUE)),Better Module which is working great: Chosen
An even better module is chosen instead of Autocomplete Deluxe, as it prevents adding new terms
(since we don't want to create new usernames - which the form doesn't allow to submit anyway but is annoying that at first will accept it as an option)
Please Note dependancy: It requires the module jquery_update to set default jQuery Version to 1.8 /admin/config/development/jquery_update (higher won't work with statistics app!)
Here the changes, although Ideally we don't want to hack code and should create a custom module for it's implementation.

FYI - All working great! Love it.
I updated the code above, fixed the issue with rendering inside private messaging as it was originally set up for autocomplete field / multiselect.
The only downside is the performance of rendering a user list with many entries, I got more than 1k and takes about 3 secs.
The selection process for bulk adding users is nicer though for multiple users to click and it can list available users to scroll through.
Perhaps performance could be improved to render faster.
If I understand correctly, multiselect (select user from list and click add to the right) was implemented instead of autocomplete search so that the courses and classes dropdown could be implemented (to select related users), which unfortunally becomes unusable with a long list of users!
