Facebook Directory
The best place to start is https://www.facebook.com/directory/people.
You will need to sign in if you aren’t signed in before you can proceed. You can now browse Facebook in three categories after passing this security check.
Facebook made it a bit difficult to encourage people to sign up. You’ll need to wait for security checks every time you click on a category search result or search result. You can also use the search bar to do this.
Let’s now look at the three categories that you can browse.
People
This page displays a list alphabetically sorted of Facebook users.
To search for the name of the person that you are looking for, use the search bar to the right. Individual privacy settings will affect the search results.
Facebook users cannot opt out completely of search results. They can however remove their name from this Directory. You can also limit the information they can access.
Pages
This category includes verified celebrity profiles as well as restaurants or other businesses. This is a great place to start if you are looking for a club, NGO or other organization. You can also browse the profiles of brands on Facebook.
Places Tab
Here you can search for hotels and events, as well as business opportunities. If you are logged in, Places will show you the friends who live nearby. Even if you don’t have an account, you can search this tab to find the information you are looking for.
What about People Search?
Facebook Directory acts like a phone book of sorts, but Facebook’s official search page is here: http://www.facebook.com/people-search.php
People Search allows you to use identifying information to locate a person. You can use People Search to narrow down your search by their school, work, and location. To use People Search, however, you must log in. You can create a fake Facebook account if this is the preferred browsing method.
Google is always available
Why not Google the Facebook Directory if it doesn’t produce results?
Here’s what you should do:
- Open Google
- In the Search Bar, type’site.facebook.com’
- Please add the name of the person, group, or event you are looking for
The same steps can be used in Bing, DuckDuckGo and other search engines.
Social Search Engines
Another option is available.
Social search engines combine data from social media. They can be used to conduct general research about Facebook’s users. This is a great way to find out what Facebook users think on a subject.
Social search engines can be used to search for comments on Facebook by topic. You can search Facebook for a keyword to find the top Facebook users who are discussing it. It will also tell you whether there are any negative or positive discussions. Without tools like these, it would be difficult to research market trends via social media.
You can also use them to find people or events. Which social search engines would be a good choice for you?
