PHP MVC Display many records - model logic

I bet this question has been asked already but I can't form my thought as you can see from the title, so I couldn't find anything. I am working with MVC for quite some time now and I'm pretty happy to say that when things work out good they are nearly perfect ( in my eyes ), however I never feel like I'm doing a good job at this particular task.

Say I have my model for a user, with all of its properties and methods like,

namespace Models;

class User {

    private $id;
    private $name;

    public function __get($name){
        return $this->$name;
    }

    public function setName($name){
        $this->name = $name;
        return true;
    }

    public function save(){
        // Save user to database
    }

    public function getById($id){
        // fill properties from database with id $id
    }

}

All fine all good, but then when I need to display a list of users for, say a search page or something, I always end up doing something like adding a static method getUsers or something that returns an array of \Models\User objects which just doesn't give me that "good code" feeling, hopefully you know what I mean. It gets even worse when I need to only get a couple of columns from the database, then the greater number of properties is empty and just feels like I'm messing up.

I want to ask you what is the correct way to do this?
