How To Search a Person on Facebook

How To Search a Person on Facebook: Using the Facebook’s Friend Finder is a very good method to search for your long lost friends and reconnect with them faster. It helps you search for specific people with names or phone number or any other information which may be unique to such individual you are looking for. Basic Search may be a little confusing sometimes because it automatically completes the names you are typing, giving your a friend suggestion. hitting enter in this situation may take you straight to the friend's timeline which is not what you are looking for.
 

In order to successfully search for a specific person on Facebook, you can use two search options, the first is if the name of the person you’re looking for (or at least someone with the same name) appears in the autocomplete menu. You can accomplish that sort of search following these steps:
 

• Begin by typing the name you’re looking for in the Search box.
• Pay attention to the people who appear in the autocomplete menu. Facebook displays first your friends and then friends of friends. There may be chance that you may find the person you’re looking for in this menu.
• If you see the name in the autocomplete menu, simply click it to take you directly to the person's profile.
