Freestuff, galleries, memberlist, store -- basically, you can search by member name anywhere in the site and get relevant results. Except the forums. The Workaround isn't a workaround, though. A workaround would accomplish the same task -- it doesn't, because the relevancy isn't present. The "hits" are too varied and great to be truly useful. In a different thread it was pointed out that google and other services use the same basic features, ut it failed to mentiont hat they filter those results further -- without the filtering, which the username only bit is all about -- the results are useless. Sorta like googling "Poser" and only trying to find clothing for Victoria...
