X. Searching for Users

You can also search for users (to view their profiles) using the Search Users window. You can search by first or last name, or by just a partial spelling of a user's name. Also, you can view a list of users by last name.

Each search produces a list of matches, showing the first and last name of the users that match the search criteria, as well as their city, state, and country information from their profile, and the time and date of their last WebBoard connection. The first and last names of each user are hyperlinked to their WebBoard profile.

Note: The search will only return the names of users on your virtual board.
