Find people on Facebook - the best tips
On Facebook it is often not so easy to find the people you are looking for. With our tips you will quickly find the profile of the right person.
Search friends and acquaintances on Facebook
You can usually find people you already know very quickly on Facebook:
- Enter the name in the search mask. If the person is not listed, click on "Show more results for ...".
- On the left are now some areas by which you can narrow your search. You can search for a person here or also for a page if you are looking for a fan page about the person. If you are looking for a profile, click on "People".
- You can refine the search above. For example, enter a mutual friend, a place or a region in which the person lives, the apprenticeship or job.
- The person may not be found because of either their settings or their details. You can still try to find the person using the email address or phone number in the search window.
Find new people and contacts on Facebook
You can find new contacts on Facebook in other ways:
- You can also use the search to look for groups that are looking for new contacts. As a hobby diver or animal lover you will surely find a suitable group with like-minded people in which you can make new contacts.
- You can also find new contacts through your existing friends - by politely writing to them or by asking a friend to make the contact.
- New contacts can also be found on Facebook via event pages, comments and discussions as well as friendship suggestions.
