If you want to know how to profile search on Facebook then you will find some answers in the following article. Facebook as you might know is a social network, designed for people to be able to meet, connect, communicate and look for each other. One of the ways that it does this is for people to have a profile of themselves in the network. This profile is comprised of a whole list of things ranging from contact details to personal information.

Whether or not you are able to view someone else's profile is dependent upon a number of things. Facebook has introduced various levels of privacy by which people can control who can view their profile information. So whether or not you are able to view someone else's profile will depend on the level of privacy that they have activated. These are some things that you should know when you profile search on Facebook.

If the person's profile privacy is to set to everyone, then anyone can view their profile including people that are outside the network. The other options are, "friends only" and "friends of friends". As you can see these last two privacy settings speak for themselves, either you are on the person's friends list or you are in the list of one of their friends. This way when you profile search on Facebook you will be able to view the profile.

To search for peoples' profiles on Facebook you can use www.facebook.com/find-friends.  You have options here, you can search for the person using their names or using their email address. The search using the email address is much better as you won't get any competing results as in the case of the name search.

If you do not know the email address and you want to profile search on Facebook using the name, remember that some people do use nick names, shortcut versions of their names and aliases. So if you do not get a result for a full name search, try the different name combinations that you know the person has.
