* We hope to almost never have to do nonspecific keyword search, because synonyms and keyword completion are going to be built into the search engine.

If a user searches for a name with only one result, the user [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694660 '''will be directed straight to that specific profile page'''], rather than a search result page. When there are between 2 or more search results, we should display all individual results much like Mozilla's current internal phonebook.
