How to find user names? #959

@JustAnotherArchivist is there a way to find twitter users based on a query on what is in their bio?

In theory, yes, the user search should match in the bio I believe. In practice, the user search is currently broken due to recent changes on Twitter's side, and I haven't had time to reimplement it yet. Cf. #895
