Oh, and I've linked the original txt file I used to make it, if that helps. In closing, I had intended to tag you all but for some reason I'm having trouble doing that.

kapu

I see you left the cursor in there too... ruined it, unplayable!

So are all directions used? So far ive spotted a handfull but they all go left to right...

Will fix, thank you!

And yes, forward, backwards, and diagonal.

--EDIT--
Lordy, sorry. And also up and down! Sorry, this took most of my available brain, and apparently it is not regenerating!

This is awesome!

Congrats, you found an easter egg! And yes, it was intentional

Emperor Borg Drone (SC)

Nice!
I found myself, IshmaelMarx, SoupKitchenRiker and TheCollective. That took quite a while, so I guess I'll stop there

Shan

Oh wao, I found TheCollective, Mirror Cartman - I will stop while I am ahead haha
Also this challenging for a Monday morning ;p

Bylo Band

Two additional points of interest:

1. Every name intersects at least one other name.

2. I just found a semi-intentional third easter egg. I say semi-intentional because it happened on accident, I saw it before publishing, and chose to leave it in. Whovians will probably find it instantly.

Dirk Gunderson

Although I am not awake enough to make a real attempt right now, I look forward to it later today. This is really cool!

DavideBooks

It took me far longer than it should have to find my name. I downloaded it.and will do it when I get back home from Texas. This is cool. Thanks.

I had to try to find mine immediately. I appreciated that it was at least a little non-obvious.

I went out of my way to have the start of yours look like someone else's name. That "S" in front of your name is 100% intentional

DScottHewitt

I'm kinda easy to find. But I found someone else first!!!

robownage

Awesome! Looking forward to playing this when I get home.

Flemming

I'm off to search for myself, if you see me before I return, please hold me here until I arrive.

Haere Lintesereg

I'm very easy to find, but I'm really honored to be included!

This is awesome, congrats!

Mirror Cartman

Found myself right where I belong, and a couple of Eatser Egs.

This sums up my experience creating it as well I still had a bit of room left when I found homes for the last batch of names and as I started researching the forums to find a few more my eyes informed me they were no longer going to cooperate, so I was forced to stop.

To that end it will not surprise me one bit if someone reports back that I spelled something wrong!

Funny story: I had the grid completed and was about to wrap it up when I realized I had spelled Osiris' name with JEB instead of GEB, so with my blurry eyes and only a vague notion of where I had placed it, I had to hunt it down to make the correction. I actually could not find it, but thankfully I had an older version saved that was less complete and used that.

Travis S McClain

Fun! Thanks for including me, @ByloBand!

Haere Lintesereg

This is another easter egg or just a funny coincidence?

I put two of those in there

--EDIT--
But no, that is not the easter egg

Ishmael Marx

I've always wondered about the people that took the time to actually make crosswords and wordsearch puzzles. Always assumed they were a little crazy - now I know I was right!

Great work ByloBand!

Kaitee

Thanks!

But also yeah next time you do this warn me, I'll change my name to WWWWWWWWWW to make it easier on myself.
