Facebook Search People (Find anyone on Facebook)

Searching on Facebook is a great way to find someone online. As the largest social networking site, your chances of finding the person you are looking for are very high. This article will teach you how to do a Facebook search for people the right way.

Facebook allows its users to add a lot of information about them to their profile, and the website’s inherent function is to bring people together by sharing information. You can use this to find someone on Facebook, whether it is a friend you know, an old colleague, neighbor, family, etc.

Facebook is not the only way to find someone online. Dedicated search engines are also helpful, especially if you don’t know the person’s name, have no mutual friends, have been blocked, or if you and/or they do not use Facebook.

Do a Facebook search using the person’s name on Facebook.

The primary search bar at the top of the website is a way to find people on Facebook by name. You can enter the person’s name and then filter the results to narrow them down.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when using Facebook People Search:

If you’re only looking for people on Facebook, select people above to avoid finding company pages, events, and other content.

Use the filters on the left to make the results more relevant. For example, search for former classmates on Facebook using their names and the educational filter (choose your school) or choose a company you worked for at Work to find colleagues by that name.

You don’t have to be connected to the person to find them on Facebook. Select City, Select School, and/or Select Company to search for profiles with this information.

Search people by the school they went to on Facebook

Don’t you know the person’s name? You can still search for someone’s Facebook page even if you are not sure about their name. For example, if you know which school they attended or are currently attending, it will be easier to find them online.

Find the school on Facebook, and then select People to filter the results of people on Facebook who have that school in their profile. As many users add the schools they were using or used to access their profiles, it is suddenly much easier to find someone on Facebook.

Piggyback on friends of your friends on Facebook

Using one of your Facebook friends to search for someone else is one of the best ways to find someone if you think the person has something to do with one of your existing friends.

For example, if the person worked with you and/or another friend, or attended the same school, or lived in the same city, finding friends is the best way to find them.

There are a good number of ways you can do this on Facebook:

Visit one of your friend’s profile and select the Friends tab to view all of your friends. You can view and search the entire list or read your recently added friends and group friends, e.g., your workplace, your hometown, or your high school.

Another way to find a friend of a friend is to search the page of people you may know. This is a list of people you may know from your friends on Facebook.

Follow step 1 above, but make sure to use the Friends of Friends filter.

Search people on Facebook in Public Groups

Groups on Facebook are another way to find people online using Facebook. If you happen to know that the person is interested in a particular topic, you can explore the groups to which they might belong.

To do this, search for a group in the search bar at the top of Facebook and then select Groups from the menu. Open the Members section on the group page to find the search bar.

Make sure you select public groups if you want to see their members (closed groups require you to be a member to see other people who have joined).

Search Facebook for people by phone number

Are you trying to find out who has a phone number that called you? Facebook can also be used for reverse number searches. Simply enter the number in the search bar to see what is displayed.

You are unlikely to find public posts using the person’s phone number, but you may be able to find a previous post from one of your Facebook friends. It’s an easy way to find an old friend’s phone number.

Use Facebook to search and find related information.

You can also use Facebook to find someone else on the Internet. I would do this if you already have your Facebook information, but you also want your other social media to account details to see if they also have Twitter, Pinterest, online dating profiles, etc.

Every Facebook profile has a unique user name at the end of its URL. Search Google or another search engine for this username to see if other accounts appear.
