How to Search for People on Gmail

GMail is a free, Internet-based email hosting service provided by Google. After signing up for a free account you are given more than 7 GB worth of storage space for emails, files and contact information. To search for people who also have GMail accounts in order to add them to your contact information list, use the built-in search feature from your GMail account's main page.

Things You'll Need

• GMail account

Instructions

1. Go to GMail.com (see References).

2. Type your GMail email address and account password into the boxes on screen to log in to your account.

3. Locate the box on the left side of your GMail account inbox that reads "Chat."

4. Type the name or email address of the person you want to search for into the "Search, add or invite" box and hit "Enter." This will search GMail's databases for contact information that matches the keywords you have entered.

5. Click on the "Add to Contacts" button next to a person's name if you want to add her to your contacts. If your search didn't return results that are to your liking, you can return to your Inbox and search again using different keywords.
