On Scratch, you can search and you will find projects or studios that have to do with what you searched for.
But, doesn't everyone have that problem where they search a username, and the user hasn't shared a project? Then, you can't get to them.
Or maybe the username is so generic that thousands of projects contain the keyword, so any of their projects and drowned out.

Well, here's a solution.
When you search, there's a “Projects” category and a “Studios” category. There should be a “Users” category added.
Not only would it make the website easier to navigate, it would also help solve part of a HUGE problem on Scratch.
Spam.
Many users comment things like, “@User” just to be able to access another user's page. This is spam. We could avoid this by just adding the things mentioned above. Not all users know that you can type it into the URL:

https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/users/USERNAME/

And besides, when you do that trick, it will only show up if it is the exact username. If you misspell it or forget where the dashes go, you'll have a really, really hard time finding the user - especially if they haven't shared projects.

What would be the cons of this? Think of any more pros? Tell me!
