It will likely be important to replicate the old profile.module functionality for clicking on a profile value to search for all of the other profiles that match that field. Obviously this doesn't make sense for long text fields but it does for any shorter text fields (favorite book=>'Old Yeller' ,) and for many other field widgets.
Could this be done using views or would it be much better to do in cck, or in cck output widgets?
IMHO: it should likely be done in cck, but not in the widgets.
If response dictates I can take this discussion to the cck group.

views
it should be doable with views. however I'ven't tried this yet.
Both
From my understanding, both CCK and Views are required to support searchable user profiles.
For each CCK field of a user profile it has to be defined whether it is searchable.
For each searchable CCK field you've got to setup a Views filter argument.
I think it should also be possible to refine the search using Views arguments, so that users with that favorite book and f.e. from the U.K. are found.
