Searching users with no posts

TheDon · 10-17-2012, 04:06 PM

Just tossing out the idea of being able to search specifically for users and not just posts that users have made. Sometimes there's people who I either want to revisit their profile or just see if they are online, and if they have no posts, I have no way of finding that user.

(for the inevitable argument that some people dont want to be able to have their profile searched, perhaps adding a check box that makes it so your profile can/can't be accessed via search?)

This would be very useful. I have often found myself frustrated at the lack of this seemingly basic feature.

Been down this road before and if it makes you feel any better the mods don't have a practical way of searching either. There is, however, a solution if not the one you are specifically looking for. Google, useful for so many things will help you out here as well, search for whatever name you are looking for and it will come up with the profile, posts or no posts.
