How do I search for other users/people?

I'm trying to track down another user. What's the best way to search for them?

Best answer by Shannon

You can search for community members by name or by rank. The name you search for must be at least three characters long.

To search for users:

Click Users in the drop-down list to the left of the Search button.
Start typing the name of an individual user or the name of a rank.
Auto-suggest shows the names of users who match the name you're typing. When you enter a rank, auto-suggest lists all users who have that rank.
Tip: You can enter the full user or rank name, or use an asterisk as a wildcard in your search.
If you don't see the user you're looking for in the auto-suggest list, click Search to see the full search results.
