Issue Summary
Greetings,
At the moment user module implements search interface and provides its tab on the search page which is imposible to disable. There is no way to remove core user search tab. Our proposition is to make it optional so administrator will be able to decide whether he needs this search or not.
Reason: It is very rare when simple user search (search by user name only) is need. We prefer nodeprofile.module to extend user profile, somebody prefers core profile. Anyway it is needed to develop specific user search module which will search by profile fields or use one of existing modules. It is easy to add a new search module but it is impossible to remove core user search.
Thank you.

I would like this too. That tab sometimes simply makes no sense.

Subscribing. I need to remind myself to take a look at this. Allowing the search of users by default seems a bit of a bug to me.

Indeed, making this optional would help brochure sites, which might need content search, but definitely not user search.

The suggested fix in #237748 is to extract user and content search into separate modules, as is the approach in coresearches: http://drupal.org/project/coresearches
I'm marking this one as duplicate since the referenced issue suggests a fix.
