I just made my friend a user account on scratch, and I just tried searching for his name, and he did not show up.

HELP!

You can either:
a) go to your "My Stuff" page and look for him under your friends or
b) type "http://scratch.mit.edu/users/[username here]

The google search only updates every while (1 hour, I think), and Scratch uses the google search, so if you looked for it right after you made it it might not have appeared.

Bingo.  wink  It takes a while for Google to index search results, so you won't see it right away.

Yes, I believe that's what they did. ^,^ But the Scratch search is actually Google search, and the thing with Google is that it takes a while to index pages... I think Scratch should have its own search feature, that would save a lot of confusion.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>
