Can a u.s. marshall enter and search someones house without a search warrant, looking for someone that does not even live at that house??

with the Patriot Act it pretty much does bypass the search warrant and they do seem to use that as their back up when questioned on it.

Hello TS:

It's not quite as simple as that. In general, no he can't. However, if he didn't find anything incriminating and you aren't being charged with an offense as a result of the search, then it really doesn't matter whether he had a warrant or not.

Certainly, complaining about him ISN'T a smart thing to do....
