Do you know that Facebook’s Friend Finder can help you build your Friend List within a short period with so much ease? With Facebook Search, you can seek out certain friends by name. It is easy.
When you log into your account, you will see the Search icon on your timeline. This Search box helps you to search a lot of things on Facebook: pages, groups, events, even things your friends have liked. You can use it to search for friends, colleagues, school mates, celebrities and lots more.
However, you need to know the exact name of the person you want to find as well as his or her picture or physical appearance. This helps you to easily find the person you are looking for rather than choosing someone you did not know. Searching out someone you don’t know his complete name is hard. This is because Facebook autocompletes the names that you type and assumes you’re trying to get to your friends’ Timelines. Don’t just click the Enter key when a name pops out. You may just end up finding someone else.
