Using Yahoo to Search For People
Yahoo is mostly known
as a search engine and people don’t know how they can use it to
find people for free. You can use
this place to conduct a free search for people. I will not talk
about its search tool that works like the white pages but will talk
about its discussion forums and groups and its message board. So
read on to learn how to search for someone free from the paragraphs
below.
Using the Yahoo Group to Search for
People
You can use
the
yahoo
groups
to search for
people, you just have to be sure that the person is part of the
yahoo directory (is a member). These groups are divided into a
number of categories. It may be easy to find the person if you know
their interests. If you don’t then you don’t need to worry, you can
still go through the groups to look at the members and the
discussions to see if you will recognize the person you want. You
can also find pictures that group members share.
The categories that
you can look through are; animals, games, business and finance,
music, health and wellness, computer and internet, family and home,
government and politics, cultures and community, hobbies and
crafts, religion and belief, science, romance and relationships,
entertainment and arts, recreation and sports, school and education
and regional.
Once you choose the
group to search from you can join and look for the person from the
members. Or you could leave a message that you are looking for the
person so that when they login they will find the message and
contact you. This search might take you longer but it is worthwhile
for finding someone free. It may not be the most
used
people
searches
but it can give
you the results you want, particularly if you want to know
how to find people for
free.
Using Yahoo Message Board to Look for
People
The message board is almost like the yahoo group since it also has
different categories that you can use to look for people. The one
advantage that this
one has over the group is that you can actually enter the person’s
name in the search bar and you will receive discussions that have
the name mentioned in them. You can also look through the
categories that they have to see if there are any posts that can
take you back to the person you want.
The categories here
are almost the same as those in the groups. You can write a message
and ask if the participants know the person you are looking for and
they will offer you the answers you want. If they don’t you can
just leave a message and ask the person to get in touch with you.
This method usually works and is one of the ways you can use if you
want to know how to search for someone
free.
The two searches
mentioned above usually take longer, meaning that it may be
sometime before anyone leaves a proper reply or even tells you
where to find the person. The other problem you might run into is
the one that people usually use nicknames or alias names when it
comes to groups and discussion forums and that can make it
difficult to identify the individual you want unless of course you
know the nickname.
With the two ways
given on how to search for someone free, I hope you will find the
person you want very soon. There is more information
