Ok, so searching for users / names outside of your instance is still kind of impossible or a pain. I can find some, but not others.

Is this by design, or something possibly to be changed in the future? #mastodon @Gargron @TheAdmin @FrankN

Also: Some usernames/accounts are "reserved", but I can only see this in an incognito browser and not when logged in...

@TheAdmin @FrankN @mhoyle I think the workaround is to @ them and then click their name from your tweet. It works if you know their username, but if not Mastodon is deliberately designed to not be able to search for usernames to prevent harassment, if I remember correctly.
