Talking Searching for specific name on main sheet then copying row data associated with name

Hello, and hopefully this thread will post, as I have tried 3x to ask this question and the forum will not post my question.

Basically what I have is a google form asking for a name, John Doe, and 5 groups of questions in which it dumps the input into a sheet. This sheet is called "Main".

John Doe Question 1 Answer Question 2 Answer etc.

I would like to know how I can have the sheet search column A for "John Doe" and then when it finds it, copy the row associated with John Doe to another sheet called "John Doe". I tried the
=IF(Main!A:A="John Doe","John Doe","") and it returns nothing.

Could I use a macro of some sort to look at column A search for a specific name and then have it copy the row it found the name on and then paste it to another sheet? I did have some success, however, it pasted to the same row it found John Doe. For example, if john doe is in row 1,5,8,20 on the new sheet it pasted john doe in 1,5,8,20 and left all other blank. I would like it to paste in sequential rows on the new sheet.

I realize I am asking a lot and I thank anyone who can help point me in the right direction. I think i have bit off more than I can chew, but I like doing this so all help is needed and very much appreciated!!!
