How do I view other people's profile on Brilliant or how do I search for someone on Brilliant???? And does our public profile of Brilliant appear when somebody searches for us on Google??
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Click on the person's name to see his/her public profile (at least if the name is a hyperlink).
I did a Google search on the URL to a person's Brilliant public profile, and the results say that the URL did not match any documents. So, I think that when somebody searches for us on Google, our Brilliant profile will not appear.
Everything Shendy says is true. People can currently not find your profile through a google search. The only easy ways right now to find other's profiles on Brilliant, is to encounter them on the leader board, in discussions, in the solved recently by box next to a problem, or in the featured solutions dialogues.
This will change in the near future. Soon there will be more ways to browse for and connect with friends and strangers on Brilliant.
