Many ways to search for people on Facebook

It's incredible how the years go by, it seems like yesterday when Messenger was just beginning to be used to contact our friends. However, we move fast when it comes to technology, to the point where it is strange not to find someone on some social network. If we talk about social networks, it is even rarer not being able to find someone on Facebook, since there are billions of users who are on this platform. Yes, we are not exaggerating. They are billions!

Now, having so many users can end up being a problem. There are people we know and want to add to our friends list. But, because there is always a "but" to everything, this can be really tricky. And is that if we use the search bar, we will see thousands of people who could have just the same names as the person we are looking for. We will rarely see someone whose name is the only one on Facebook.

Although we have this problem, Facebook has thought of everything and has tried to solve everything that is a problem for its users. That is why they have created a wide variety of advanced search tools and other features to be able to find other people more easily. If you want to know some of these tools, then keep reading, because with all of them you can facilitate your search in an incredible way.

By city or location

If you type anyone's name, you will see thousands of results. However, under the names you will also see the location of these people. Not in detail, but you will see the city where they live and the country. So, you already have something useful to look for.

However, you don't want to see results until you find the city where the person you want to add is located. Avoid that by using the Facebook search bar, as they have made an effort to improve it to provide better results, with more and more precision.

All you have to do is enter the name of the person you want to add along with their city or country. For example, if you are looking for someone named Mario who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, then type in the search bar "Mario Buenos Aires Argentina" and search through the results. If you have the surname or surnames, depending on how you have registered, even better. Once you have done the search, you will only have to review all the results and see the profile photo. It is not the same to review thousands than dozens.

By WhatsApp phone number

It is no secret to anyone today that WhatsApp was bought by Facebook. In fact, less so now, since when we start the app we will immediately see "from Facebook" at the bottom.

If you have the phone number of the person you want to add, it can help. That person may have your phone number linked to their Facebook account. Then, you will just have to search for that phone number in the Facebook search bar and you will probably find it without problems.

Anyway, consider that it is not infallible. That person may not have their WhatsApp phone number linked to Facebook. You may also have an older number linked, which you no longer use. So, do this just as one more option.

What if you don't know that person's name?

If you don't know that person's name, just use a few basic tools. You've probably seen something in the "friend requests" menu at some point that says "people you might know." It is there where you should review, looking at the profile photos until you find that person. Of course, it is not accurate at all, if that person does not have a photo of themselves in their profile and has their private account, then you will not get anything. Anyway this is the first option.

The second option is, if it is a friend of a friend, search their friends list on their profile. You just have to enter there and you will see that the mutual friends appear first, but then their friends will appear. Search there and, again, you will do it using their profile photo.

Email

As we said above, the Facebook search bar has been improved to find someone more easily. If you have their email address, it will be easy. Of course, that email address must be linked to your Facebook account; If this is not the case, then it will be useless and you will only have the possibility of writing to him by mail. Also, the person must allow their email to be visible to other users or you will not have results.

We hope this article has been useful to you with these tools to search for people on Facebook. We suggest you also read this article where you will learn how to manage a Facebook page.
