Why is it that when I try to search by username, it says that person doesn't exist- yet I can see their posts.

Title pretty much says it all.

When you type in the search field the text populates in the 'GOTO user' option, selecting that seems to work...
There's an option to set a display name in the settings.
- I don’t see that option anywhere.
  
  I believe they're taking about in your own profile, you can set your display name to be different from your username. For instance, my username is AFKBRBChocolate, but I have it set to display with spaces. If you click on the username in a post, it should show you what it really is.
  
  Go to this page and search for "displayname"
Maybe their display name isn't the same as their login, which is what the search looks for, so it doesn't show up when looking for their display name.
