There are no searches like that currently in the game. You can do a "get_pop" at the command-line and it'll give you some summary information like how many married/pregnant/aliens you have in your world, but nothing at the career level.
Ok, several things about move-ins. First of all, they only happen once a week. Saturdays at Midnight. If you haven't waited until that time, then you haven't given them a chance to move-in yet.
Second thing, when Saturday night comes and goes, if you have no move-ins, you should check the mc_cmd_center.log file. It will tell you if you have invalid lots that are marked as "not-furnished" in-game. If you cursor over a house in a neighborhood and it doesn't show a "bedroom/bathroom" counter on it, then it isn't marked as furnished so that lot will be ignored. It will also be reported in the log file when population runs the move-in process as being not furnished.
Third thing, what is your Open Houses set to? If it is low, no problem. If it is high, then if you don't have more empty houses than that number available, no move-ins will happen.
Thanks!
