How can I retrieve a user by username?

This is how I do it using Id:

public virtual MemberAccount Get(Guid id)
        {
            var entity = OrganizationService.Retrieve("Member", id, GetColumnSet());
            var returnEntity = (MemberAccount)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(MemberAccount), entity);
            return returnEntity;
        }

This how I do it with a query (GetAll):

   public virtual IEnumerable GetAll()
        {
            QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression()
            {
                EntityName = "Member",
                ColumnSet = GetColumnSet(),
            };

            var result = OrganizationService.RetrieveMultiple(query);

            var returnList = new List();

            foreach (var entity in result.Entities)
            {
                returnList.Add((MemberAccount)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(MemberAccount), entity));
            }

            return returnList;
        }

The easiest way is to add a ConditionExpression to your QueryExpression to filter by name:

query.Criteria.AddCondition("fullname", ConditionOperator.Equal, name);

Where name contains the name you are searching for. Or you could use the BeginsWith or Contains ConditionOperator
