If all you have is a list of users to look through the suggestions work just fine. Otherwise, it's easier to set a common root for that particular lookup, such as mysite.com/user/matt. This avoids the problem of mixing in a variable URL value with other parts of your site. It also maps nicely to a Django app as well.
