All links on the directory appear to work and those related are grouped together on the page.

Search appears to work and return valid results, but returns just usernames rather than the information in the member directory itself. Should this return more information (along the lines of the directory)?

The visual layout of the directory is quite confusing, however, the info returned isn't laid out in any clear context - you may get a username next to a country name, a community contribution, a real name, or a website, and the other links are also placed depending on which have been filled out. This was gathered just by going to the second page in the section (http://drupal.org/profile?page=1).

I think that for this information to be clear, it should be laid out with appropriate labels with each entry appearing on a separate line. There may be a need for some more spacing between entries too, to make them stand out from each other a little more.

d.o has only got each of the fields stacked in list form and then each profile floated into columns. Taking a similar approach I've made the name a little more title like and floated each of the fields on the following line. I think this is in keeping with the new theme the attached patch has been committed and can be reviewed.

Echoing chrisdolby, it would be useful if it was clear what the users were being sorted by. It appears currently (as I write) that it's drupalers online on d.o. right now. But most people might be happier with an alpha order sort, either by nickname, or first or lastname.

It isn't clear that the search is only searching D.O username's. From its label, "Enter your keywords:", I assumed that you could search across any of the fields included in someone's profile such as their real name, or where they were from. Searching for "kyle_mathews" for example, returns me, but searching for "kyle mathews" returns nothing.

I think the expected behavior would for searches to return matches against other user profile fields.

@kjay, do you have a screenshot of your patch in action?

The default sort is probably Most Recent Active User. I like that the current user is at the top.

Also, I agree that ideally we could keyword search within user profiles. If not, we need to change "Enter your keywords:" on the search. How about "Enter a username (or partial username)"

I committed some changes to the theme here as part of #935296: QA: Community / Member Directory tab [Theme]. And cleaned up the search form.

lisarex is correct about the sort. These are core profile module pages, really basic. I think building out a real member (and business) directory will have to wait for later.

This needs work. Similar to #936304: [META] Style issue comments there needs to be some visual styling added to the individual items (in this case, each user needs some sort of styling).

Going to close this one out and we can revisit it all in #1078214: Improve "member directory" linked from Community & Support page... which will be done after the D7 upgrade
