I am trying to search for somebody on facebook. I have a first and second name. When I type it in it only gives me 500 results and none of these are who I am looking for. They don't seem to have their city as their network. It always seems to be the same 500 too.

Is there a way to search more than 500?

Or does anybody know any tips?

Your high school crush tells me that she doesn't want to friend you on Facebook.

I'm sure you dont know his email , but when I get in these circles , I search for his siblings or friends , like his brother / gf / mother father , friend , anyone , and from his friend list I can find out his profile , hope it helped.

She might have her privacy settings set that only friends of friends and people in the same network can search for him/her.

The person told me they were on it but was obviously not aware that only 500 results come up. I suppose with common names it's not always easy.

I know a lot of people use their high school as their network.

Did you really go threw 50 pages to see all 500 results looking for this person? If so, that's like, extreme stalker lol. Just ask them for their email, if you dont talk to them, then its probably best you dont find them.

I got a lift home from somebody and left important course work in his boot. I have no other way of contacting him apart from facebook. I need it back by this time next week so have been frantically trying to find him. I won't see him for at least two weeks.

Why can't they have a wider search. Arghhh!

This. You know TC, people can make their profiles be private by not allowing other people have the ability for search for it. I did that with mine.

I do that with mine too. The problem here is that facebook only supply a certain number of results even though there will be more.
