The first name that comes to our mind when thinking of a social networking site is no one other than Facebook. It is that social media brand that has now become a part of our lifestyles and we tend to share our each and every moment, be it or sad or happy or a proud moment with our friends and family. From trending news to promotion of numerous events organised everyday somewhere or the other, Facebook has it all.
But, the first extra ordinary feature of Facebook that attracted the masses all around the world was that we can find and connect to our friends around the world. Facebook allowed us to share our special moments with our dear ones, it became a medium to help us find our friends and get in touch with them once again.
Not only our old friends, we find various new and interesting people on Facebook. It has become the most popular social networking site with over 1 billion active user base.
So, basically there are maximum chances that we can find anyone we want to via Facebook. But, is it necessary to login to our account if we want to find someone on Facebook? No, that's not important. You can find people on Facebook without even logging in. You didn't know that, right? It's perfectly fine, I am here to tell you how can this be done.
Go to the Facebook People Search page which is the official Facebook search page. This page helps you to find people even if you're not a Facebook user. There will be a search bar on the page that has just opened where the heading is '
Type " fb.com/people-search.php" in the address bar of a new tab or window. Press enter and the new page will open. This is the Facebook People Search page.
See Also: - Search for people by name'. So, now you can find the person you are looking for by simply typing the full name of that particular person in the search bar.
A full list of people of that name and who use Facebook will appear in front of you. Choose from that list, the person whose display picture matches with the person you've been looking for and you're done!
To make your search more accurate, you can also type that email address or various other information you know about the person by putting a plus sign (+) between each information provided. This information can be the present city, hometown, birthday, profession of that person. How To Share Post Into Multiple Facebook Groups In One Click
Another way to reach this page is by typing the name 'Facebook People Search page' in the Google's search bar. After all there is nothing you can't find on Google! Simply click on the first result that will appear, it will take you to Facebook People Search page.
