Not out of the box, because by default users have only a user name,
password and roles assigned to them. 

There is a product I use called extensible User Folder that extends this
and adds properties to a user, it also has a membership component which
allows users to signup, change there password etc. 

It also can authenticate from a database, so we could use sql methods to
search users. 

There is a extension to zope called cmf (content management framework) 
that seems to do what we want for our website:
 it takes advantage of zope's built-in features to deploy portals, it
allows members to participate in the process of providing content
