Running the playbook below and wondering whats the correct syntax so I can 
use a variable within the find statement below

This line is in question - 
      when: p.stdout.find"{{('user')}}" != -1

This would be correct without a variable

when: p.stdout.find('daniel') != -1

How do I do this with a variable?

Playbook
- hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  vars:
    user: daniel
  tasks:
    - name: Create a new user on the server
      user:
        name: "{{user}}"
        state: present
    - name: Check to ensure the user has been created
      shell: cat /etc/passwd | grep "{{user}}"
      register: p
    - debug: msg="The user {{user}} exists"
      when: p.stdout.find"{{('user')}}" != -1
    - name: Create a file in the /opt folder called program1.sh
      command: touch program1.sh
      args:
        chdir: /opt
        creates: program1.sh
