Here is a suggestion. How about Armor Games user search?
I know that there is an unofficial ones, like this one, but how about an official one? However, the AG custom search engine is not very accurate, I think...

what would you search that with? just change the ending of armorgames.com/user/(change)

it's fine as it is (unofficial)

Try this out. I made it myself a year ago, and it does exactly what Graham said. It finds comments (I've found no way to code it out).

And AG has never had a real search for anything, so you can bet the first real search engine will be for games.

Graham's solution is the easiest way to solve the issue! Just type the username behind the armorgames.com/user/..... and voila! You're there!

By the way... this suggestion belongs in the Forum Search thread in the stickies...

Ah, you guys are talking nonsense. I know all that, but those search engines are not that accurate, so why AG doesn't make an official one?

Because it did not work out in the first place. It was basically a quick and dirty search, which worked as well as any of the unofficial ones, but took up server space and made the site lack.
If a search should be official and actually work, it would lack much more, but wait and see how it will go in the v3, huh.

Freakenstein has a link to the old Community one. A close look will show you how to use it. Be warned! It is extremely, extremely slow and half the time doesn't work.

The same would be with users I guess: You need whole servers to do this kind of searching (Google has those, AG does not).

HINT! HINT!

No, that's a thread with links to DDX's forum search, not user search. And I the reason it's there is to show the links, not make a discussion.

Because there is no serious need for it. All active threads are on the front (Or second) page, everything else is dead (Bringing it up is necroing). Why make something that causes major lag and has no significant use.

And think of it this way: We've been here the whole time without one, why do we need it now?

A search bar would be loads useful. Every site should have one.

Just stick with Cenere's 'hint' on the next version of Armor Games coming up, AG V3.0... that's the best solution here I bet!
