I've seen websites which are dynamic and ever-changing. Linked-In 
appears to change at roughly the speed of plate tectonics. I suppose in 
three entire /years/ they might have made visible changes though.

I didn't expect something as stagnant and unchanging as Linked-In to 
actually, you know, change. I will admit that expectations do not always 
match reality...

OK, I rephrase: Every website I've ever used which allows you to search 
for human beings seems works in this way. No, I haven't tried every such 
site in existence. But I've tried a fair few of them. Hence the claim 
that "most" such sites tend to work this way.

Oh, I'm sure you can search by name. Recruiters won't be searching for 
you by name though, will they? ;-)
