I invited a person to join SL. They said they made an account but haven't logged in-world yet. Do they have to login first for it to register with the search function? 

I've tried both in-world and the website, and the name doesn't appear.

Yep and they will get the born on date of their first login too.  I've got a few resident accounts sitting idle that once I log them in it will show them just born, but they was made 10 years ago.

That might have been true once upon a time, but not now.  I just checked search for an account that I created in May of this year but have not yet logged in.  I even checked my Firestorm and Secondlife 'apps/roaming' folders to confirm the account had never logged in.   I cannot find the account via the Web search, but the profile does already exist - I can get to it via Firestorm's legacy People search and has the 'born' date as the date that I created the account back in May.

I'm pretty sure their Web profile won't show in search until they log in, but I think their Legacy profile (viewable in Firestorm and maybe other TPV) can be found shortly after account creation.

Even if they do log in, the web search is FUBAR and thus you still may not find them.
