There is a search function but it works through hashtags.

Search for a hashtag, you'll see some suggestions of variations appear, click the one you want.

By the way, there's currently a bug that often makes it say 0 even when there are lots of results. Ignore the numbers, and click on the tag you want.

If you're looking for people to follow, there are even more options:

@feditips @jentaub [nods] The search bar says hashtags *and users.*

I’m looking specifically for people who I *know* are on Mastodon, where I know their handles and even often the full handles including the servers they are on, and ‘search’ cannot find them (or finds some, but not others - which is weirder).

tl;dr - It’s not a fucntional search right now.

@feditips @jentaub @DaultRadio the iOS apps allow you to search by name (first and/or last) as well as by hashtag.
