How to Locate Skype Members

As of 2011, the newest release of Skype--version 5--is strangely lacking a previously prominent feature specifically for Mac OS X: address book synchronization. While Skype users on Windows can use the new Directory feature to sync with email accounts and address books, users on either operating system can still search for and locate other users on Skype. If you have the Skype name, full name, email address or physical location for the person, he should should appear in your results you perform a search in Skype.

      Enter the full name, email address or Skype name of the person you want to locate on Skype. Click the "Search Options" tab to add a country, city, state, language, age and gender to your search parameters. The extra search options are particularly useful if you are searching for someone with a common name and do not have the Skype Name or email address. Press "Enter" or click the "Find" button to perform your search.
