Can you guys show the best way to find users by first and last name or by full name.  
Also, when the user enters a name, I want to search for that name in both Cyrillic and Latin.  
Any links, ideas?

Client could enter Name or LastName or together(Fullname (firstname lastname or lastname firstname) )  
I used some techniques, but when I enter Zhandos Osipov it return Zhandos Zhandos.  
Also, client could enter just part of the name like "Zhandos Osi" or "Osipov Zhandos"

In DB I have data like  
Zhandos Osipov  
Жандос Осипов  
Жандос Жандос  
ЖАНДОС ОСИПОВ  
Zhandos Zhandos  
Shandos Osipov  
Zhandos Osepov  
Zhandos Erlan  
Zhandos Omar  
Zhandos Oskar
