The search creates a content and a users list. To look for a person by name, make sure to look under the “users” tabs when you get the search results.

The search engine does not go through user’s profiles to find matches; it only goes through the usernames, which are usually the user’s names. Therefore, searching by the name of the school, company, occupation, etc, will yield no results. If you don’t know the person’s username, try searching for keywords related to their area of expertise.
