Member search is something BuddyPress is not very good at though. Plugins such as BP Profile Search offer a partial solution. So if you feel search function is too limited, do feel free to contribute code to make BuddyPress better. Any help is always welcome.

BuddyPress allows you to have:

member profiles
an advanced member search (through the BP Profile Search plugin)
private messaging

So it looks like your requirements are covered. My advice would be to set up a test install and try out all of the features to see if they meet your requirements.
