Index dynamic profile pages
I suppose you could create a scheduled job where you: Get the users -> create user object -> include the user profile page in the user object -> index user objects.
If you are using UnifiedSearch, there are various ways to include the user objects in the unified search. Check out the documentation: http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Find/11/DotNET-Client-API/Searching/Unified-search/

You can index any type of object with find so no problem at all.
//Specifying the id by modifying the command
var user = ...get users and add profile information...
client.Index(user,
x => x.Id = 42);
//Specifying that a property should be used as id or use client conventions for it
public class User
{
[Id]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserName {get;set;}
...add profileinformation...
}
Scheduled job like Skuseth says above is great for triggering indexing.
Then depending on how you want to show them you can either use UnifiedSearch (for a single global search page that shows all kinds of search hits) or a specified search for persons. If the latter you can use
var query = ...
var searchResult = client.Search<User>()
.For(query)
.GetResult();
int numberOfDocsMatchingTheSearch = searchResult.TotalMatching;
int executionTime = searchResult.ServerDuration;
FacetResults facets = searchResult.Facets;
IEnumerable<SearchResultItem<User>> hits = searchResult.Hits;
...
Then loop through the hits to display them...
Don't you just love that strongly typed syntax of Find? :)

Hi,
We have approx 6000 users (in a separate db) and a dynamic user profile page that shows user details.
A user id in the querystring of the profile page is used to show a specific user´s profile.
How can we use Find to index this dynamic page for each user so that all user profile pages will be searchable?
