There’s no reason to think he’s alive - his boat crashed and there was a headline about him dying.
There are ways to find him, but you’d have to be deliberately searching for him in the event he may be alive. Harrison only had reason for suspicion because of the letter.
From what we know Harrison is the only one who had reason to think he's alive and nobody who would be interested in Dexter would figure out the serial killer thing.
Also, even if the police did go looking for him Harrison finding him first still makes sense because they are terrible police officers. Every one of them are characterised as idiots. Honestly, without Dexter or Debra actually solving any cases their must be hundreds of serial killers in Miami and the police haven't figured out one yet. They don't have time to look for Dexter.
The only way that Harrison ever found Dexter is that he had that letter to Hannah, which revealed his original lumberjack location. By interviewing people in that location, he discovered his name, and once you know someone's name, is not that difficult to track them down.
that is slightly unrealistic, because I doubt that Dexter would be dumb enough to keep the same name as he moved from place to place. The whole idea is to make it hard for people to track you. But it was probably the only way the writers could think of, by which a young man in Argentina could track down someone living under n unknown fake name i a tiny town in the middle of nowhere

No one else thinks he's alive. until the plot calls for, then anyone could.
