How come when you search a name on the members list it isn't taken but when you go to register its taken? I don't get that.

On the members' list that you can find here on NB not all usergroups are displayed. For example, banned users, users awaiting email confirmation, users that have been put from the staff in special usergroups you can't see.

Not all members appear in the list, for instance you will not find banned members if you search in the members list.

And alternative way to find out whether a username is taken or not is by using the advanced search option and see if that username made threads/posts, but that would only work for banned members, not for the others Chocolate Chip listed.
