Ever look for a stud only to find inactive and banned users all over? This would simply add a checkbox to search that says "hide inactive users" so people who aren't likely to be around won't show up!

This has no other function than to help the search filter out banned accounts and people who have not been around since last year or something. If you aren't around for awhile it doesn't do anything to your account, so don't worry!

What counts as as inactive?
Any user who has not been online in 3 weeks or more is "inactive".

How will it work?
The search will look at "last online" date when the box is checked. If the date was not within the last 21 days, it will not list that user. This way the system doesn't need to change or update any accounts which preserves the current setup.

To keep this from being a system drain a 30 second wait is added to the search with a "Searching.... Filtering..." type loading screen showing the loading paws from Explore. The pause prevents abuse of the system and gives time for the system to get the filtering done in case it takes a little time.

What if I was inactive?
If you were inactive and log back in then the search sees your most recent online date has changed and will let you be seen in search results again.
