Make a "search for users"
Whenever you search at the top, you only get projects and studios. What about users? Adding this would be very convenient. You don't have to type /users/. Many others would use this to search for their friends (if they don't have any projects), find out if the username is taken, find their alts,… What do you guys think?

Doesn't seem very useful, but maybe it can be.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the current way to look up users but at the same time I see this helping out.

https://scratchviews.com/ has a user lookup system if you need that.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the current way to look up users but at the same time I see this helping out.I mean a problem is it doesn't always show up, you can misremember the name, and you can find projects that contain the username in some way instead of people with that username. For example, if someone thought my username was “median” instead of “medians” (okay that has happened before):

https://scratchviews.com/ has a user lookup system if you need that.That is not a search system. ScratchViews just shows statistics about users, it doesn't let you search for users.

Closing as this does look like a duplicate topic.
