How to Search for an Email Address in Facebook’s Search Field

If you want to add someone on Facebook, one option is to search for their email address.

Why Look Someone up on Facebook Using Their Email?

Here are three typical reasons why you might want to use someone’s email address to find their Facebook profile: On the app, tap the magnifying glass at the top of the screen, enter the email address into the search field and tap Go/Search.

Their name is so common that it’s too difficult to spot it among all the other Facebook users with the same name when you do a name search.They haven’t listed their full name on their Facebook profile (perhaps using a nickname as a first name or a middle name as their last name).They (or you) don’t know their Facebook username/URL so you can’t use it to go directly to their profile.

Find People to Add on Facebook Messenger

Did you know that Facebook Messenger users don’t even need to have a Facebook account to use it? You can find and add people to Messenger without adding them as friends on Facebook first.

Other Ways to Find People on Facebook

Other ways to find people on Facebook include searching for the user’s phone number, employer, school, or any other relevant information they might have on their profile. To narrow things down, you can search public groups or your friends’ contacts.
