Searching for someone by player name

Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Is there anyway to find someones profile if you only know their username? I can't really see a search option. I realize friending them is one option but I don't have their player number.

Has the search option been left off for player privacy or something? That seems rather silly. Especially since the randoms in your own league are always open for perusal.

 

I believe you need both name and character code or real email, probably because of what you wrote - privacy reasons. But i wanted to help you, so i found a way (i found myself and i found husky to test it, so i guess it works):

- open your browser

- go to google.com

- type in: "player_name" site:battle.net inurl:sc2 (note that player name should be in quote marks for better results)

That's it

Edit: you should probably be logged in to battlenet

Edit2: sometimes character code is hidden on profile page, if you want to obtain it, view the source of profile page and find the tag: <li class="title-view">

for example:

<li class="title-view"><a href="/sc2/en/search?f=post&amp;a=someusername%23ddd&amp;q=someusername%23ddd&amp;s=time">View Posts</a></li>

ddd is the character code

 

wow that seems complicated xD

 

Thanks Xern, you are pure genius.

 

No problem, glad to help.
