Ever since I started using the newer v3 based viewers, it has become increasingly frustrating for me to search for people I wish to contact. The process of getting straight to the person's profile or IM screen takes too long, especially the loading time of the new web based search.
Being a Firestorm user, I was glad that legacy search was brought back. However, true online status of avatars is now a restricted feature in viewers. Which makes the prioritizing of who to respond first a hassle.
Thus, I decided to design a HUD to replace the search for avatars function in v3 based viewers onwards, to help me search, find and contact for avatars more quickly.
Features
=======
+ Search and find avatars with minimal clicks and waiting time.
+ Displays true online status of avatar.
+ Displays profile picture of avatar.
+ Displays profile description(up to 200 characters only and text that do not have special characters).
+ Upon finding the avatar, direct links to the most common avatar contacting options are presented to you in a dialog box.
+ Online monitoring/tracking. After finding the avatar, the HUD continues to monitor the true online status of the avatar in real time.
+ Auto avatar name formatting. Don't let avatar naming formats confuse you. Example, "Old Newman", "old.newman", "YourName Resident", "YourName", "yourname.resident". Whichever format you or your customers choose, the script will be happy to accept.
+ Keyless entry. You do not need to enter the avatar key in order for it to work.
+ Name2Key function. Easily find and retrieve avatar keys.
+ Paging function. Option to send a paging IM to the avatar, to let the person know you want him/her to contact you.
+ HUD based.
+ Minimizable HUD design so that you can keep it attached at all times, to either have quick access to searching for an avatar, or to constantly monitor an avatar's online status, without obstructing your on-screen view.
This HUD will only find and track a single avatar at a time. It is not a mass avatar online tracker. This is a business oriented product designed to help you search, find, contact and keep tracking of the online status of someone in the least amount of time.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
This HUD uses llTextBox. Which is not supported in official Linden Labs viewers prior to version 2.4, and some TPVs may not support it.
This HUD has been tested on Firestorm and Official SL Viewer v3.
