Is there a way to see who else is searching on a name?
I know I have relatives on this site and others but I do not know their usernames or even the name they may go by. I am hoping that I would be able to click on a name that we have and be able to see who else has been using that name to search. I realize there may be privacy laws but if they have an open tree, I would think this could/would be doable. Thank you

If you use the "following" option to keep track of the people you have added to or edited in the tree, and your cousins also use the following option, you can see who else is following that profile. But, no, there is no tracking of who is researching a certain name beyond that. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/following/

Estimada @Amanecer Jacquelyn Belshaw Johnson, Bienvenida a Comunidad de FamilySearch, como bien te ha explicado @Áine Ní Donnghaile, En FamilySerch, no existe la manera de saber quien ademas de nosotros está siguiendo un nombre, pero si comienzas a seguir a la persona que estás buscando, pintando la estrellita, se pondrá negra y dirá que ahora estas siguiendo a la persona. al hacer ésto, cualquier actividad que ocurra dentro de FamilySearch con esa persona, el mismo FamilySearch te informará, lo hace poniendo un puntito rojo en la campanita que aparece en el ángulo superior derecho de tu pantalla, si haces clic ahí veras que te lleva a ver quien estuvo trabajando con tu nombre, si cliqueas en ese nombre, te abrirá un cuadro con icono que dice ver parentesco con la persona que estuvo trabajando con el nombre original. Así, yo he encontrado primos y parientes que no sabía que existían. Mucha suerte!!!, y te pido que si te es útil mi ayuda me lo hagas saber, y si no lo es también, como misionero de FamilySearch, tratamos de brindar un servicio de excelencia!!!
Desde ya muchas gracias y espero tu comentario.

@Dawn Jacquelyn Belshaw Johnson, it's not clear from your message whether you're aware that FamilySearch is not set up like Ancestry and MyHeritage: people don't have their own, individual trees here. Instead, we all contribute to a single, collaborative tree. Every deceased person in it is public and shared.
If you look at a family member's profile in the shared tree, you can see who has contributed to it: every conclusion and every change to a conclusion has a username attached. What's more, you can click such usernames and send a message using FS's internal messaging (which they've recently revamped and renamed "chat").
