I can tell you that I hate facebook and I do think you need a facebook page to go searching for someone on facebook but others here will be more qualified than I am because I just have a business facebook page....and do not use facebook at all

Yes you can but it's a lot easier to do if you have one your self. If you're not logged in just go to the bottom and click on the link that says "people" and then you can search from there.

Yeah i don't get the whole Facebook thing either. Why would you do that to yourself? You may not be able to view a persons page if they have made it private i believe. Hope you want to find them for good reasons.

Hi Looney :)

Altho i admit fb is just so consistently , um, trivializing, i have a small number of fb-friends. One is in Europe; for a few years now we have exchanged fun hello's and news_heads-ups. It is a more comfortable arraingement than simply e-mail. I can keep up as re her large family (pictures). Actually 2 friends post lots of pictures..of families -- and so I... :)

One local friend I wish I could see oftener than I do. So fb-ing helps.

Another local friend is a photographer..& I can see what he's been doing recently. This Kevin and i talk f2f every few months, and recently I've learned he is selling a vehicle/of the kind i've been looking for. The deal being an involved one :-)~ , it's turned out we can keep in touch...in a way not so stark, not so context-lacking.. compared to e-mail.

Y'know; like texting..e-mail can be so sudden and out-of-the-blue. And with a few ppl fb allows a better way.

YMMV (your mileage may vary) :)
--happy next 51-weeks!

You can, but you won't get a list of full search results without being signed in to facebook. You could also try googling them and seeing if a facebook page comes up.
