In your controller
If (isset($this->data['User']['username']))
{
$user = $this->User->findByUsername($this->data['User']['username']);
}
If its a search controller, rather than in the users controller you
need to make sure you delare $uses at the top of the contoller
$uses = array('User');
As long as your table fields follow cake conventions you can do any
findByField(), check out the API docs for more info on it
