Can't find a lot of "included" features

I love community builder and think it's great but I'm having trouble finding a couple things that I believe should be there (judging from my admin page). I'm hoping someone can help me locate them and understand why they aren't showing up on my page (all show as published):

Quick Message
Search ability for user profiles
PMS (shows it's up but nothing on site)
Connections
Add friend icon
... and how do I adjust the fields that have to be filled in when they register?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I basically want it to be able to be similar to joomlapolis' add friend/mail system as far as that goes and it doesn't seem to be working. PLEASE help.
Thanks.

Quick Message:
Requires a PMS system (eg MyPMS or uddeIMS) installed.

Search ability for user profiles:
I believe you're talking about user lists. In your joomla admin backend, under Components > Community Builder > List Management. Create lists with different conditions and fields.

PMS:
You need PMS installed before you publish the plugin

Connections:
Even after publishing the plugin, you still have to enable connections in CB's configuration

Add friend icon:
It's not exactly an icon. After enabling the connections feature in CB's config, you will see a "Connections" tab on top of user profiles. Hover over it and you'll see a "Add Connection" tab. You can configure the behavior of connections adding through CB's config too.

Creating new registration fields:
In joomla admin backend, go to Components > Community Builder > Field Management. Add new fields, and set them to show on registration. Play around with the other options and field types to get the hang of it.

Cheers!

-edit- the PMS joomlapolis uses is uddeIM. More information here
