Clicking a search result for users doesn't do anything on mobile

[fzngagan (Faizaan Gagan)]

I noticed that when I search for a user in the search bar on mobile and click on a user, it doesn’t do anything.

I think it would be nice if the click would take me to the user’s profile page.

What do you all think about this?

For me it competes the username and inserts it into the search bar. You can then do the search to get to the profile. (at least here)

[fzngagan (Faizaan Gagan)]

Yeah. I noticed that it does that. Is that the expected behaviour though?

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

It’s certainly not a bug.

[fzngagan (Faizaan Gagan)]

Should I change the tag to feature?

This request does not make any sense. Search for users at /users — even on mobile.

@codinghorror

I was suggesting this because when we search on the desktop without an @, there are two columns.

One column shows matching topics and the second one shows users. And clicking on a user takes you to their profile.

So the users will naturally expect the same behaviour on mobile too.

But anyway, its only an opinion.

모바일에서 이제 이 기능이 구현된 것 같습니다 (따라서 이 이슈를 닫을 수 있습니다).

현재 검색 아이콘을 통해 검색할 대상(토픽/게시물, 카테고리/태그, 또는 사용자)을 선택할 수 있습니다.

또한, 메타 홈페이지에서 사용되는 검색창은 데스크톱과 마찬가지로 결과에 세 가지 항목을 모두 표시하는 것을 확인했습니다. 제 생각에는 이 방식이 훨씬 더 좋습니다.

아이콘에서도 이 방식을 사용할 수 없는 이유가 있을까요?
