Why isn't there a search box for people anymore?
I wanted to search for an Instructables member, and there is no search option for it. I specifically remember that there used to be an option called "People". Now it just says "All, Instructables, Answers, Forum Topics, Groups." I don't know where it went, could someone please explain why it was removed?

Somebody felt it was a non-needed search feature and that taking it off would make a "cleaner" looking site.
I miss it since the only to pm someone if to find a post of theirs.

Yeah, but the only problem is, if somebody doesn't have any posts, instructables, topics, etc.(like my brother) , then I have absolutely no way to contact him.

If you know thier user name you can find them by typing:
https://www.instructables.com/member/[member name] into the browser's address bar.
So I could find you by typing https://www.instructables.com/member/nickodemus

Ask him to send a message to you. Then you'll have a link to him from that message.

I think that the point is someone decided to make changes to the site that work less well than the previous way... I have to agree
