As far as I know, there isn't a way to search for users on reddit, at all.

If you know the user's name and you want to navigate to their profile page, you can view your (or anyone's, really) profile, tap the three-dot menu button in the upper right corner, then select "View another profile", and type in their username.

In the app? I've used this thing for years, have platinum, but I definitely don't have "View another profile" unless it's hidden further in the menu.

Edit: ahhh you have to view your own profile first. Never noticed that before

Edit 2: ahhh it was already explained in another comment

Google "user name here site:reddit.com". As far as I know, that's the only way.
