Question: how can i search for a yahoo user if i don't know there full e mail address? 

Answer: http://members.yahoo.com\nSelect advanced search; what this does is search our profiles that contain the information you enter in.  If you know at least the first 4 characters of the person's name they are likely to come up IF they have their profile listed in the member directory.  If they don't its nearly impossible.
