How do I search ADccounts by using name in powershell?

I'm not sure what you mean? There are a few 'Names' you could search by. Get-AdUser would work. or if you want to find anyone with last name smith --

Get-AdUser *Smith

Does answer your question?

Something like this may help you:

$name = 'Tester, One'

Get-ADUser -Filter "Name -eq '$name'"
