Actually, you can just mess with the url to get to a specific user's profile instantly. ;o I always just add on '/userInfo/name.htm' to the home page url when I wanna find a person, but you could also go to someone else's profile and then substitute that user's name for another's.
I guess it's all kinda roundabout, but it works. xD
Oh, and also, didn't the search recently get alphabetised? That kinda helps too.
Buuut, all that aside, this would be nice, and prob'ly not too hard to implement. I guess I support, even after all these silly little comments. xD
