What's with not being able to search for people or comments?
Why did the admins remove that feature? Not so bothered about comments, but I used the search for people tool a fair bit, so I could send a PM, comment on orangeboards etc.
Why was it removed from the search filter options?

For finding a member, type this "http://www.instructables.com/member/" plus the member's name at the end (e.g., mine is "http://www.instructables.com/member/AngryRedhead"). If you want to find a comment, try Google with the phrase + Instructables.com (example).

Yeah, I guess. I suppose I wanted an admin to gve a reason...
I'm going to guess it's because of bandwidth issues and how searches eat it up, cost money, and slow down sites. There are lots of sites which offer limited search possibilities or none at all.

Yes, I agree. I too used it quite often. My only guess would be privacy reasons, if that makes any sense whatsoever.
