    To search for friends on Facebook, you have a few options. You can type in your high school and year you graduated. The site will bring up everyone (who is registered) with that same high school and year.
    Secondly, to find old friends you can put in the first and last name of the person.
    The third way to find friends on Facebook is by their email address.
    Facebook also gives you an option to email your friends from your email address book to send them an invitation to join Facebook.
