Unable to find people

More like a question rather than an issue/bug, feel free to reject is if it's not applicable to this library, but wanted to raise it anyway to see if anyone else encountered this.

Got the library integrated into a Discord bot which is just used to verify (read: a simple query with the API) if a user exists. But often times, I end up with no results and when I try this in the PS App, I cannot find them either.

However, other people can find them on their PS App. Is this a quirck with Sony their API or does anyone else know a bit more info about this 'behavior'?

Seems the quirck is only happening with makeUniversalSearch(). When using getProfileFromUserName(), I get consistent results. Despite what the documentation says that I should make use of makeUniversalSearch() for obtaining accountIds, I'll refrain from doing so since it is not 100% perfect.
