  search registered users by name

  I’m not clear on what you mean by “registered users”. You can create a category for every author on your blog under their name.

  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/

  If they are authors you can use the authors widget in your side bar, which will show all the authors, which can be clicked on to show each authors posts.
