Some users dont show up in search,what the?
My friend just opened an account. He's new to scratch, so he doesn't have any projects. I want to add him as a friend, but he wont show up when I search for him. Why? Pls help!
If we had no Halo, we would have no FPS.

Re: Some users dont show up in search,what the?
Hey xboxfan, the Scratch search is a customized Google search - new users don't show up right away in the search until Google indexes them (which takes a while).
If you want to find anybody on Scratch, just type in http://scratch.mit.edu/users/[name of user here] in the address bar (for example, if you wanted to find me, you would type in http://scratch.mit.edu/users/cheddargirl). Hope this helps! 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Wow, thanks, cheddargirl! That clears some things up with me, too.
