You'd have to learn PHP, learn CB API, learn Joomla API, and develop as a new Joomla module. That would be the best and most ideal way of doing it, but the below will also work using a Joomla "Custom HTML" module and constructing the FORM to post to your userlist for basic text field searching for example.
Code:
<form class="cb_form" name="adminForm" id="adminForm" method="get" action="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&listid=4&action=search">
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_comprofiler">
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="usersList">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="listid" value="4">
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="" size="25" maxlength="150" class="inputbox">
<input type="submit" class="button" id="cbsearchlist" value="Find Users">
</form>
The above example would search the Userlist with the ID of 4 on the Username field. You should be able to adjust this as needed to search basic text fields, etc.. from a module.
