just type the screen name of the player you're looking for and it'll show you, at which table he's playing at the moment.

For what I know, you have to enter the EXACT screen name, so if you're looking for "tuff_fish68", "tuff_fish" won't do. If the player can't be found (isn't playing at the moment), it yields a somehow weird empty page.

I figured it to be alot easier to use the "buddies" feature in combination with the search feature. So if you've identified a big fish [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] at your table, go to your buddies list and enter his screen name there. Next time at the search feature you can click "buddies" and select one of your previously added buddies. Again you can only see buddies, which are playing at the moment.

added: think you know already, but players can hide themselves from the search feature
