Searching users' projects
I've had this idea in the back of my mind for a while, but what if there was a way you could search a user's projects?
How I think this would work is that if you click “View All” on the “Shared Projects” section, there'd be a search bar under the user's username/amount of projects shared. You can type in keywords from there, keywords can be in the description, title, tags, maybe text inside the project (that last one may be too complicated though, idk)
It may not be perfect, but it could narrow it down at least a little.
Ways I think this could be useful:
-If the user makes several different kinds of projects (games, animations, etc.) and you want to find a specific type of project, you can search “game”, “animation”, etc.
-If the user has a character you like and you want to see projects featuring that character, you can type in the character's name
-If the user just has a lot of projects in general and you don't want to look through all their projects to find a specific one
-Probably more reasons?

I think this is actually a really cool (I mean better-then-cool “cool” not just normal cool.) idea!
when green flag clicked
if <your suggestion is in scratch> then

say [Yay you can search a user's project!!!]

Support, this would help users to track down projects they liked, particularly for users with lots of projects.

Another benefit I can think of - maybe there's a project by that user you really liked that you viewed a long time ago but can't find anymore, and you can search for the project to try to find it.

Support, there are a lot of good projects user make, and it's hard to find the project I like if they make a ton of projects and I can't find it in my favorites.

Semi-support. This would be convenient, but unless the user has a ton of projects you can find them pretty easily by doing Ctrl+F on each page.
(Swallowed by an evil kumquat who was just taking a walk in the neighborhood of evil kumquats when they saw a garage sale where they bought a plate which they used to eat but they discovered that it leaked and they went to get their money back but the sale was over so they went in the house but the door was locked so they got their key but it didn't fit so they went home to use the key on the right door which was their own door and then they decided to swallow a signature for no reason.)

Hmm.. I guess this is a good workaround for now, but some users may not really know this exists and a search bar may just be easier to use in general. I also tried it out and it wasn't working for me all that well. Semi-support.

Support. I think we should be able to search for users too.

Support. This would help find projects by users with a bunch of projects.

Although you can sort your projects in alphabetical order, for users with a ton of projects it might be annoying to load a lot of projects and search for one thing for an unnecessarily long period of time.
