I can filter by Role, Permission and status on the people page, is there an easy way to search for one specific user?

That's all you can do with core Drupal - it is a little frustrating for sure. :-)
However, there are lots of contrib modules that let you do more, such as
- Advanced User, in which user fields to filter/search by can be configured in the module's settings or
- the simpler User search to People Admin which simply puts the user search box on there for you.
Of course, you can also opt to make yourself a user-based view and create an admin page yourself by using relationships and filters. :-)
Hope one of these helps!

Thank you, seems like a pretty 'Core' requirement to me, I'll check out the modules. – Toby Allen Apr 23 '13 at 15:06

Yeah, all of us who use Drupal daily have wanted more from the user admin page, believe me. :-) The good thing is - that's the whole point of contrib modules, and there are so many of them. – Boriana Ditcheva Apr 23 '13 at 15:41

If only it was as easy to contib to a contrib module as it is to contrib to a github repo :) – Toby Allen Apr 24 '13 at 13:27

Obviously, it's an old thread and @BorianaDitcheva had no way of knowing it at the time - but both recommended modules haven't been updated in almost 6 years. I wonder if there are better solutions today... – Felix Jan 21 '19 at 18:33
Assuming this question is about D7, only using Drupal core wont be sufficient. However, you could create a view (using the Views module) of all your users, and use the views style provided by the dataTables module. Here is a quote from the dataTables project page:
The DataTables module integrates the jQuery plugin DataTables into Drupal as a views style and a callable theme function. DataTables lets you add dynamic features to tables, including:
- Variable length pagination
- On-the-fly filtering
- Sorting with data type detection
- Smart handling of column widths
- Themeable by CSS
- And more ...
You'd be especially interested in the On-the-fly filtering. For way more details about this module, refer to "What are my options to visualise a views table with many fields grouped in columns?".

I want to also vouch for https://www.drupal.org/project/usersearchtoadmin in Drupal 7. I used such and had great success for specific people keyword searches "as shown" in the real life example below:
