How to search for a user by name using Spotify Web API

I'm trying to create an Android application that contains a feature where you can search for Spotify users by name. When using Spotify, you can search for a user by their ID or by their name. However, currently, I see no way that the Spotify Web API supports searching users by name. If you have the User ID, you can access their profile using the Web API. But I was hoping there was a way that you could run a search for the User name and get their ID that way.



Spotify's Web API allows you to search for a "track" or "artist", where they will return all of the search results. So why can't you do the same with User names? Is there any way to make this work that I'm just not seeing?
