This method does not guarantee a 100% hit, but if the selected image is on the social network and is not protected by additional privacy settings, then the chance of finding a person increases.

How to search for people on Facebook by last name, first name, photo, phone number, etc.

Facebook is used to find friends and share information. Finding a specific person here can be more difficult than on other social networks. However, knowing the search algorithms, competently using filters and portal tools, you can quickly find the right person. The following describes how to find a person by name, phone number, city or photo.

Search for friends on Facebook by last name and first name

For all types of searches on Facebook, a general search bar is used in the upper left part of the page. nine0003

To find a user, knowing his first and last name, you need to follow the scheme:

1. Log in and log in through your Facebook account.
2. Enter the first and last name of the person you are looking for in the search box.
3. If the name and photo appeared in the pop-up menu, you need to click on it, otherwise move on and click on the "Search by query ..." button.

In the "Result Type" column, click on the "People" item. We are looking for a friend by photo in the proposed list. nine0003

You can also use a filter in the search system to find a person by additional parameters:

• mutual friends;
• education;
• work;
• city or country.

If any of the filter types in the search is not required, it can be removed by clicking on the cross on the right side of the screen. You can return the parameter using the "Add filter" button.

Find friends on Facebook by phone number

Some people do not sign on social networks with their real first and last names, a search by mobile number can help out. This option is not suitable for all cases, because due to privacy restrictions, the owner can hide data from strangers.

By the way, a Facebook user found this feature of the portal himself. The search could be done by phone number, since the user account was linked to it at the time of registration. Previously, there were no restrictions on searching through a mobile number, but for better privacy, Facebook developers gave users the opportunity to hide their data from the general search and remove them from the page. nine0003

Facebook's two main resources will help you search for a person's phone number: the mobile app and the website. You can find a Facebook user, knowing his phone number, like this:

• Log in to the site using your account.
• Click on the "Search" field in the upper right panel of the interface.
• Enter the number in the format 8NNNNNNNNNN or 7NNNNNNNNNN.

Next, you will see a list of registered user matches. You can go to the page - the number will be displayed in the column of personal information. nine0003

If the number is not indicated in the profile, but the page was found correctly, it means that the user has removed information about the number from public access, but has not disabled search by this parameter in the privacy settings.

It is also possible to search via mobile application. In fact, its functionality is similar to the functionality of the site. The Facebook app is free to download on mobile. After authorization, you need to open the search column, enter the numerical combination of the number and get matches. If the exact number is found, only one page will appear: the phone cannot be linked to two accounts. nine0003

If the search did not show anything, then the user has disabled the ability to find his page by phone, changed his number, or he is not registered with Facebook at all. If a person is not registered with Facebook or has hidden their data in the privacy settings, the internal search of the social network will not help you.

There is another way to search, and without authorization. It is based on linking a phone number to an account:

1. If you are logged in, log out of Facebook and go to the main page of the social network. Under the authorization window, select "Forgot your password?" nine0010
2. In the field that appears, enter the numerical phone number through 7- or 8- and click "Search".
3. Look up the username and photo associated with this number and copy it.
4. Now you can go to your profile and insert the person's first and last name in the search bar. Next, we act according to the above algorithms. By the way, using the same method, you can find a profile by e-mail.

How to prevent your number from being found through a search? nine0207

Privacy settings can prevent you from finding your account through your phone. Facebook has two privacy features:

• Remove your number from the information on the page accessible to all users.
• Disable the ability to search a page by phone number.

How to hide the number from the search:

• Log in to the site using your account.
• Open the "Settings" section in the additional menu.

• Go through "Settings" to the "Privacy" tab
• In the block "Who can find me?" select search by phone number. In the menu, tap the appropriate option: leave this option for friends, or only for yourself. Don't forget to save your settings.

How to find a person by city on Facebook

It would seem that it is simple, but on Facebook there is no filter by city in the list of results in a standard attempt to find a friend. You need to act on the following pickup:

• Log in to the site, go to your page (click on your name next to the "Home" button in the upper right corner).
• Click on the "Friends" icon in the top menu. After that, you will see a list of all your Facebook friends.

A window will open with friend requests and a selection of recommendations from usernames that you may know or have mutual friends with (the "You may know" list). If there are inactive and unconfirmed requests, above the recommended list there will be a list of requests from users to add as friends. nine0003

• Select the "Find friends" field in the upper right corner of the window.
• Use the right side menu in the opened search form to set the parameters of the person's place of birth and the city where he lives now.

Filters will help you fine-tune your settings and find a person.

How to find a person on Facebook without registration

According to the developers of Facebook, the security of personal data remains a priority of the service. Therefore, the social network is sensitive to maintaining confidentiality. Search without registration in a social network is becoming more and more limited every year. nine0003

If you are not registered on Facebook or want to find another person's account without logging into yours, you can use the standard search engine: Google, Search.mail, Yandex. They operate according to similar algorithms:

• Open a search engine and enter the user's full name in the line, then add "Facebook"
• The search will return those results in which it finds matches, there may also be a personal page of the person you need.

Privacy settings can complicate everything: the user can prevent the display of his profile in search engines in the settings. nine0003

Searching for a person on Facebook by photo

Facebook is categorically against the search by photo function, and therefore it is not supported on the social network. Here again, you can turn to the search engines.

Search via Google

1. Go to https://www.google.ru/imghp.
2. Click on the camera icon in the search bar.
3. Go to the "File Upload" tab and select a photo from those saved on your computer. nine0010

After that, Google will display the results found for the query. To be more precise, after the picture, you can drive the word “Facebook” into the search box. Then the search will go on the pictures inside the site.

Search using Yandex

The algorithm is about the same, with a few nuances:

1. Go to yandex.ru.
2. On the main page, click on the link labeled "Pictures".
3. On the next page, find the button with the image of the camera, click on it and then on "Select file". nine0010
4. We are looking for the desired image on the computer and click "Open" - Yandex will give options, including possible matches

On the left side of the extension you can choose who to search for:
