Terminology: the directory

More musing about terminology and nomenclature, this time: the directory.

I think the directory is a silly name, and a quick straw-poll of IRC agreed with me. Not quite sure what we should rename it to though. Ideas mooted on IRC were:

search
advanced search
user search
advanced user search
journal search
advanced journal search

Any thought and preferences or better ideas?

I vote for advanced search. Although, hm. As it is right now, the directory search link in the menu links to the journal search and that page links to the community search. Perhaps those two pages could be combined? That would get rid of an extra click (and improve accessibility?) and 'advanced search' would fit even better, imo.

although advanced journal search might be a smidge more informative (you're not searching all dreamwidth content, say)

Whilst I agree that "Advanced $foo Search" would be more informative, it is rather a mouthful, so I'm going to agree with Advanced Search.
