You'll need to start with an EditText that lets you enter a search term. You can put this wherever you want, like above the user list, for example. Then you need to add a button that will get the value from the EditText and use it for a new ParseQuery.

There are lots of different ways to tackle this, and you should be able to figure out a solution after completing the Ribbit project. Follow up in here with any specific questions if you start working on this and run into trouble. Good luck!
