Add user search page to /user/

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What would you like dabr to do?

For /user/ to contain a text input and a button which, when posts, displays the 
/user/username page of the text input.

I often view the page of people I don't follow (usernames I've seen mentioned), 
or people whose tweets aren't visible at the time so can't click a link to it.

One of the benefits of this is that the /user/ page would be in the navigation 
and could be bookmarked.

Another benefit is that the text box would have autocomplete, so you could 
quickly search for users that you've previously searched for.

Also, some Android keyboards/browser combos I've used are a bit finicky with 
cursor placement in the URL bar. This would remove this issue

Awesome Idea.

I don't think it's useful. You can already type the username of the user after 
the /user/ on the URL and the modern mobile browsers have autocomplete.

What would be really useful would be 
[http://twitter.com/who_to_follow/search/dabr user search], d.mylu.us has it.

I have some code on my dabr version which introduces a /find/ page. This allows 
you to either search for a name within twitter and bring back a list of users, 
or type @username which redirects to /user/username.

Not hard to add to the main code, just some spare time.

Fixed in r505
As above the page is /find/ (linked in the menu).
Type @username to jump straight to their page, or without to search within 
Twitter for possible matches.
