If you know someone is on here but you can't find their account by searching, ask them by some other method for their account address and paste this into the search box. Their profile will appear, including a "follow" button. More details about how to find addresses here:

This is the equivalent of exchanging phone numbers or email addresses.

(This happens if an account is very new, and/or hasn't posted much, so your server hasn't "noticed" it yet.)
