Often the first place that you look when you want to find information is Google, and it’s also a good resource to make use of if you want to find somebody online.

Check Other Search Engines:
If you’re not getting much luck using Google, it can be a wise idea to try some other search engines.

There are plenty of other search engines that are beneficial to use alongside Google, so it’s definitely worth trying all your options to find as much information as you can.
Social Media:
Finally, social media is one of the best ways to find anybody online quickly. Facebook is the most popular social media site today and with millions of people around the world using the site, it’s easier than ever to find people that you might have lost touch with and contact them using the site. You can use Facebook’s people search tool to find anybody who uses the site using just their name. However, bear in mind that not everybody is findable with a Facebook search sine users can change their privacy settings to prevent anybody that they are not friends with from finding them using search. In this case, you might need to do a little bit of digging to get in touch with an old friend using Facebook. Finding a mutual friend can be a good idea, as they may have information on the person you’re looking for that you can use to contact them.
