Retrieve Order By Order Number with Orders API

Is there a way to retrieve a specific order by order number, not order ID? I'm trying to implement a way for customers to look up their orders and they wouldn't have access to the order ID - only their order number. It looks like you can only retrieve all orders and then filter by modified date. I'd rather not retrieve ALL orders and sift through them every time I need to make an API call. I was surprised to see there's not a way to just look up an order based on order number in the docs. Any insight would be appreciated!

There is no such feature so I guess we need to retrieve and update old orders on a database such as Google Spreadsheet and then lookup order number from there
