Search on Member name in Member section

I need to look up members but now I have to browse through all the pages. It would be great if I just could enter their name, just like I can with the custom questions.
Probably just adding Member name to the list of custom questions would solve this.

Joost - This can already be done. Go to the "Members" tab, then enter the name you are looking for in the "Search within this group" window which is just above the thmbnail picture of you on the top right hand side of the page and hit return.
Voila!
Here's a blog post on it if you want to share with others: http://blog.collectivex.com/articles/2008/02/01/user-tip-–-seek-search-and-ye-shall-find
Ok, I got it. Maybe you can change the User Interface a bit here. Putting the text in the searchbox is too confusing for most users. They expect an empty box. Now it is not so obvious it is an input box and you have to read the text to know what it does. Furthermore if you change the graphics of the box a little so that it looks more like an input box that would help. A blinking cursor would also be great, as it is, I think the only place someone can enter info.
To go a step further, you might even have contextual messages. When in summary, keep the current text, but when in member area change to "search for member" That they will get more than they asked for is only great. Nothing has to change in the functionality, just how you present this info to the user.
Oh, I see you actually have contextual changes for the Forum and Files searches.
Joost - You are very right about the search interface. We are all Mac users here at CollectiveX and we are used to searching in a little oval window like that. When we release Groupsites V2 in the very near future we will correct that oversite.
