Hope you’re well and keeping safe. If I am understanding correctly, you’re asking about just searching usernames and finding a result of names rather than topics of conversations? Please see my screenshots below on how to do this . I did a test with your username. You can also follow other Local Guides once you click on their names/profiles as well.
So as you’ll see, you must click on the “users” tab after your search. You may also search using a partial of the name , for instance, if you cannot remember the username, but this usually yields far too many results - this is why I recommend following user profiles. Hope this helps!
I also experienced the same problem as you if using sign "@ ". Thank you @ErmesT and @SP31 have explained about this. As explained by @SP31 , indeed more easy find local guide name if using search column than using " @ ".
In the first place, I didn’t understand a need to search for any specific name.
Possibly, you remembered some name in one of the previous posts.
In that case, it’s much easier to search on the topic.
Nevertheless, like Google search, you can make exploration on a partial name.
However, one can change the profile name at will. Then searching that will be futile. Same is true for Maps profile name and profile photo.
What remains constant is the User ID. But, a search on a User ID doesn’t bring out any results, most of the time.
Nevertheless if you enter the link https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/(User ID number), then that will take you to profile page & then further to the current name.
The best strategy would be to add names in “Follow” or “Un-follow” list & that removes the trouble of remembering a name or the user ID.
Here 's a case where I am connecting with local guides in Delhi on personal chats where they inform me about other local guides they know and their names and user names. I try to search for those names in LG connect out here. Hence the need.
Thanks for the tips on searching for users, and for everything you do for the LG community.
