I have a D6.x install, and want to allow admins to search for a given username so they can change the user's role. Searching for values in profile fields would be a big plus.

Filtering is not feasible since the site has about 1000 users.

I did some searching already; the modules which might help seem to be for D5.x only, alas.

thanks in advance.

just one bump from me, in hopes that someone has an answer...

With the normal search you can search for usernames. See http://drupal.org/search/user/test

Gah! Look at that. The search module finds usernames.

(Any way I can search the profile fields?)

There are a few modules (Advance User, Profile search, and others, search for 'profile AND search' (without quotes), but as you mentioned, they aren't ported to D6 yet. You can of course help out there, by testing patches or stimulating the module maintainer in other ways.
