I go to the search bar. I search up “Exampleuser”. What do I see? I see projects that say “Exampleuser clicker” or an animation made by “totallyunrelatedperson” about “Exampleuser’s project be like:”. I did not want to see these projects. I wanted to see Exapleuser’s profile! Now I have to scroll down, hoping for a project made by Exampleuser so that I can use it to go to his profile, or click on one of totallyunrelatedperson’s animations to see if he happened to @ Exampleuser in it. I find this annoying and inconvenient. Most large scratchers have these problem, like Griffpatch or Will_wam for example.

So, a solution! When I search up a username, a little box appears. It looks just like the one you would see if you searched up a project, but clicking it would redirect me to the profile of the scratcher. here’s a little illustration to give you the idea.

Please give me your criticism or ideas for this. Thanks!

Edit: the 100% support rate in the title counts the people who have said whether they support it or not.

This sounds like a good idea. Support!

You could also go to https://scratch.mit.edu/users/[USER] instead.

Yep, that's about it, but it would be better if it also displayed the featured project of the scratcher. I updated the concept art now.

There could also be a user search bar (which used to exist, though was removed due to not being re-added when the search page was changed to scratch-www)

Hey, that's a good idea! My suggestion is that they appear next to the projects, but your idea seems better.
