Suggestion: If a search term matches a username exactly, the user page should appear as the first search result

Question

Youtube does this, so why shouldn't we? It would make searching for specific people a lot easier.

Not a bad idea, unless someone's username is the name of a Pokemon or Pokemon-related term. But that's not too much of a problem I suppose.

Answer 1

Usernames are included in the search. In other words, if you search "Pokemaster" it will show posts made by me, as well as posts that contain the text "Pokemaster".

So usually there will be a link to that user's page on there somewhere... it's just that it would be under a question or something.

Hopefully there will be username searching on the Users page at some point in the future.

It shows all questions asked by that user, but not answers. And since my name is 'dead', everything with the word 'dead' in it also appears. That's kinda handy xD
