Things You'll Need:
- Facebook account
- Email account information
- List of friends
-
Step 1
Sign on to Facebook. This will bring you to the homepage, where a search box on the upper right side exists. Logging in to Facebook will allow you to use the full feature of the website. If you are not logged on, your search results may be limited and you won't be able to see your friends or access their public profile.
-
Step 2
Type the name of the individual you are looking for. As you type their name, a menu will drop down that asks you to choose whether to choose within Facebook or the Web. Facebook will come up with a list of possible matches and pick the one you want to add. Click on "Add friend."
-
Step 3
Expand your search by using Profile Search. If Facebook doesn't yield your desired results, you may need to specify the search more to locate your friend. Click on the link "Profile Search" right next to the search button. After you are brought to the page, select a different network from the drop box. Fill in as many fields as you know, since this will help Facebook locate your friend.
-
Step 4
Check out your friend's profile after you have added him. You have to wait until your request is approved so you can see his complete profile. Click on "Info." This will list basic, personal and professional information about your friend.
-
Step 5
Add more friends by using the Friend Finder tool or by installing applications. The Friend Finder tool will allow Facebook to import email addresses from your accounts and locate your friends so you can add them. You can also install the Locate Friends application, which you can use to locate your friends on a map.
