Looking for People on Facebook
How to do a Facebook
people search? The first thing you need to know about looking for
people on social networks is that you have to have an account so
that your search can be easy. So the first thing you have to do if
you don’t have an account is create one (sign up) and if you have
one you just have to sign in/login. Once you login then you are
ready to do your search to find people for
free.
Searching Through Find Friends Page to Find
People
The first place that
you can try when
searching
is the ‘find
friends’ page. Here you will get a chance to look for people by
hometown, country, school, company and mutual friends.
Next to this is
usually a long list of people (names + pictures) that you can look
through. When you enter a school or hometown then on the right will
be the people on
FB
that went to the
school or that live in that hometown.

You can choose to use any of the
options when doing this search.
Using Advanced Search 2.2 Beta to Find People on
Facebook
Another method you can
use if you want to know how to do a Facebook
people search (how to find people for free on facebook) is
using Facebook advanced search 2.2 beta. You first have to install
this application before you can use it. Once it has been installed
successfully then you can use it. Login to your account and choose
the advanced search 2.2 beta option to see a page like the one
below.

You can then choose
the find people option to proceed with your
lookup.

You can search using the name, address or age (date of birth). You
don’t have to fill in all the spaces (search field). Actually you
have a better chance of finding someone if you don’t fill in all
the fields.
You can also choose to search from any of the options given
(groups, applications, web, MySpace, posts and band or business or
celebrity pages). They all give you information you can
use.
The results or information you get from this search is not just
data on people who use the advanced search only. It retrieves
information on anyone who allowed or agreed that search engines and
other web directories can access their information.
So if the person you want chose not to be viewed or be accessible
to other searchers then you will not get any data from this search
or any other
search
on Facebook.
I hope this guide on how to do a Facebook people search will help
you as you search for people on FB. Feel free to leave a comment

Additional Information
When looking for people on Facebook, people usually use the search
bar that is at the top (when you enter your Facebook page). There
you just enter the person’s name (or nickname, username) and
search. The results will include all the people who use that name.
You can then go through that list to find the one you
want.
