I have many friends who play Armorgames, but I do not know how to find them. I think you all should make a search engine to find users.

Thanks.

There is no search engine, but you can look for names using...

http://armorgames.com/user/___________(name)

Here's what you do:

Go to Google and type in there usernmame and the word "Armorgames" and the first search result should be there profile.

Hope this helped

Yeah that's the best way to find them.
I think we also could use one but it would be a lot of coding.

That won't actually pick up any new users until the Googlebots have a chance to crawl their pages. The best way is actually to type in the username for the profile page link.

No, it definitely works almost every time.

But, yeah, the other way is still better :P

No, it definitely works almost every time.

It works because the Googlebot crawled the page and added it to the search. A new user (hence a new page) is least likely to have been crawled and would not have been added to the search. It would not search the newest users but, of course, it will search just about everyone else.

If you type in armorgames in the search it will include other sites

Type

site:armorgames.com profile *keywords*

instead.

I made a thread about how a solution of finding friends could work if you don't know their user name.

Here it is!

I hope you guys give me some good posts!

@firetail's idea

It could work but it isn't as effective. It's not searching for a user, it's guessing the users name.

http://armorgames/user/(insert name here) is the best way to do it because google doesn't have me on it I always type in RescuePal and it doesn't come up!
