Find someone with an online people search...

Trying to find someone online? Like to know how to find people? Whether you are trying to locate a friend, relative, business associate or childhood sweetheart, here are our top tips for getting the best results on your online people search.

Before commencing your people search compile as much information as you can e.g. full name, maiden name, last known address, date of birth, social security number, nickname, aliases etc.

Start your online people search at Google. The number of web pages indexed by Google far outnumber those by other search engines such as Yahoo!and MSN. Google are the leaders in search, by a huge margin.

Enter the name of the person you are searching for in the search box and enclose it in quotes e.g. "Fred Johnson". This will return web pages which contain an exact match for your search. If your name search is unsuccessful try searching a phone number, address or other information from your list. You can also try combining elements from your list e.g. "Fred Johnson 1234 5678".

Try searching for your person's home town, sporting, academic or business awards, or any achievement which could be connected with your person.

The social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace etc can be a good place to find someone by doing a people search but there are limitations. With the sheer number of social networks out there these days it can all become it bit bewildering. If the target of your people search is not a member of a particular network a search for their profile will not produce any results. Searching through all those networks can be time consuming and frustrating.
