In the upper right hand corner of the site, under the search box, says 'Users'. Click that then go to whatever alphabet that users name starts with, and find him. Then click add to network when you want to add him. Simple.

well you could do what sentry said and then go to every page and hit cntrl+f, type in the username you are looking for.. by doing that you can search for anyone.

Developing things for a site isn't like writing "friend_search" and it's there. It takes a hell of a lot more effort than people think.

Search should have been present the day they launched the site. Search, and the white-theme.

The white theme more-or-less was available at the beginning. They took it down because of issues that needed to be fixed, or something like that.

I agree that a search for users function needs to be added... Going through an alphabet of users is a lot more work than it ought to be, and it will only get more and more time consuming as the site grows :P

This is an issue I've mentioned before a few times.  There really does need to be a search function in the Users section of the site.  Having to surf through almost 40 pages of names just to find one person can be simplified.  I had put it in the Giant Bomb Suggestions thread...I think.  I'm pretty sure I did.  Nonetheless, I'm still hoping they get around to this.

workaround, 
compose a mail,  when you enter the user you want to send to, it autofills, select correct user, send mail. go to sent mail and click on username. add friend.
 
this autofill object in the mail area surely could be used as a separate search friend function?

I was about to post that to, on each profile page it says "add as friend", chances are if your adding someone its because of a message they sent you or a post on the forum so the link to there profile is there. They will be situations where a search function is better but its by no means a broken system.
