Hello @gperosa and welcome to the community!

If you're connected to facebook, you can find friends via the follow-tab on the left sidebar. If someone registrated with facebook and you aren't friends with that person, he can look up his "real" username (not Name / Last Name) here which is a bunch of numbers that you have to insert in USERNAME. But in case you want to find people that are not on facebook, ask for their username and type this in the searchbar:

Example:

spotify:user:catmeow1234567 or

spotify:user:1234567890

Unfortunately you can't find people with their full names unless they are your facebook friends or really popular on Spotify (lots of followers).

I also tried to put together a bit of a tutorial here:
