Search Users?

[Armitage]

I'm not sure if there is a way to search for particular users. If there is then it's well hidden and needs changing. The search bar only searches for threads a user may have posted in. And sometimes it can't even do that. Not helpful if you want to search for particular members who have not posted.

Member introductions isn't all that helpful because most people are not going to post in there.

Users online isn't helpful either because you can't click on a name if the user isn't online.

In search types you basically need to add another checkbox "Users". Make it like facebook.

I will look into adjusting the search functionality this weekend to include this. I agree it's a useful feature because it's something I've tried to use in the past on other sites and had no luck with.
