  No it isn’t. There is no username or actual name search capability here.

  Find Friends Who Use WordPress > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/find-friends/

  The WordPress.com search engine indexes post, pages, and comments content (body text). Unless entered as text in those contents, blog name, post titles, and post/comment author names are not indexed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/

  For Topics (Tags page) searches see http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/ This is the syntax http://en/wordpress.com/tags/canada
  See here http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topics/

  For Google searches use this format and replace “keyword” with whatever word or keyword phrase you wish:
  keyword site:wordpress.com/

  Example search string
  Queen Victoria site:wordpress.com

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.

  Your subscribers will control the frequency they receive your posts emailed to them (instantly, daily, weekly, never).

  You could create a Subscribe Page.
  Place the shorrcode on it. We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/
  Create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and add the page into it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages

  You could also simply include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  Note: You can create a Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and place a contact form on it for private communication with your visitors, or for opting into receiving a newsletter for example. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
