How can you find the courses for a certain user? There appears to be a way to find a course in game using a course id but not for a user. I've been using that as a work around by finding a given course by the course ID, selecting the user, and then following them to view their courses later. But I'd like to be able to just find courses for a user with either either their network ID, display name, or friend code.

Best Answer
There is currently no way in game to find a user's courses other than by entering in the Course ID which they may provide. See the online manual. There are, however, alternative means to find a user's courses using their username.
Finding Courses via Miiverse
There is a way to see all of the courses posted by a user within Miiverse. The easiest way to do this is to navigate to their page of posts where you will see all of their recent posts including their Mario Maker stage upload posts. This will provide you with course ID's for their courses which you can use to find at least one course in game. After that you can browse their courses by clicking their user icon in-game.
Using a direct URL with the username
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/AnyUserName/posts
Keep in mind that the username is their nintendo network id name, not their display name. For example:
Satoru Iwata has the Display Name "Iwata" but his actual username is "SatoruIwataA". You can see the username beneath their display name on their user page. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/SatoruIwataA/posts
Finding a Friend:
Finding any other user (Note this is probably easier to use the URL method above)
UPDATE:
Finding Friends via the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site
As of Dec. 22 2015, Nintendo created a Bookmark site to help find courses easier. There is a way to get to your friends levels from this site.
