>>I was just doing a search for certain information. I knew it was in a post by Kevin Goff. I wanted to search only messages created by him, but I did not know his user ID (21028), so I tried to look up his name with the lookup button next to the user ID field. When a surname of "Goff" is used to search, there are 4 results but none of them are Kevin Goff.

>>I had to look up posts by Walter Meester to find one he sent to Kevin, in order to get Kevin's user ID. Once I had that I could manually type that ID into the field and find messages by Kevin. This is inconvenient.

>>Could you please make it so banned members appear in member ID search results? Thank you.

>I'm curious - is Kevin the only banned person who doesn't appear? How about Sanders, Thurber, etc.

JVP, William Sanders, Claude Fox - do NOT appear.
Terry Thurber - DOES appear (ID 29227)

So, it appears it is possible for someone to be banned, but still show up in these member searches.
