My friend just made a steam account, but I can't find him?
The title explains it all, my IRL friend just made a steam account, and I'm trying to add him, but I can't seem to find his username anywhere, does steam have a thing where they add accounts to their database every few minutes? He's trying to add me as well but he can't.

Ask him for his Profile URL.
Sometimes the search functions on the community can be a bit...broken.

Send him your profile URL or have him send you his. If he is a limited account user he wont be able to friend you, you will have to add him.

I did, I was talking to him on the phone but it was dying so I had to hang up, I've been making wild guesses, I know what he usually calls himself on games and other stuff, but no matter what I search thats close to his profile name, I either get something that isn't him, or no results on the "Add friend" thing.

I'll try finding him tomorrow, I also asked him to add me, also I'm assuming a limited account is someone that has no games right?

Pretty much. They can't use any of the community features.

Oh, ok, he did say that he bought a game though, maybe steam needs to refresh or something, idk though.

Ask him if he is level 0. If he is then that means he is a limited account user.

He actually said he was level 0 a few minutes ago, yeah, he just made the account around an hour ago.

He hasn't bought a game then. He won't be able to send you a friend request but you can send him one.

That's where I am stuck, I can't find his username, he said it to me but I can't find it anywhere.

Edit: He should be level 1, he just bought a game, i think.

Do you have any other way of contacting him via PC, if so, just ask for his profile url.

Well, I tried messaging him, he said he had to go to bed, I'll probably try looking the username up tomorrow, or calling him tomorrow.
