search an element in the array of objects

Is there any javascript function to search an element in the array of objects. We have sort function in javascript to sort an array of objects. 

[
    {name:'a', value:'1'},
    {name:'b', value:'2'},
    {name:'c', value:'3'},
    {name:'d', value:'4'},
    {name:'e', value:'5'}
]

You could use the ES5 Array.prototype.filter method (MDN article). For example, to reduce the array to only those objects with a name property of "a":

var result = yourArray.filter(function(elem) {
    return elem.name === "a";
});
console.log(result); //[Object -> name: 'a', value: '1']

This is not supported by older browsers, but there are plenty of polyfills available for it.
