Firstly, make sure you have filled in all your info correctly as it can helps in finding your friends.
You got three ways to find your friends on Facebook
Go to the Find Friends page and you will see something like this:
By entering your email and password of that email account and then clicking on the find friends button, you can import all your contacts to Facebook.
After the import is done you will be able to send requests to your friends that already have Facebook.If you don't have an option to add, then probably your friend is not having Facebook yet or using some other email for Facebook.
In this case you can either sent an invitation to your friend or you can search for him.
PS: Enter your password associated with the email and not the password you use for Facebook.
Facebook does not store your password so you need not hesitate while using this feature.
Invite your friend individually:
This allows you to invite your friends individually by sending them an email.
Go to the Invite Your Friends page and simply add your friends email, a message(optional) and send the invitation.
What if you don't know your friends email id or you are not able to find him using the email id?
Do not worry.There is one more way you can use and the most effective one to find people on Facebook.
It is the Facebook Search.
Search:
As you are new user, you will have a "Find Friends" tab on your page.
This is present at the top right side of every page between tab having your name and pic and one more tab- Home.
There is also the same tab present on the left side of your home page in the menu which has news feed, messages, etc.
Note: Some of you might not see the Find Friends tab. Here's why?
The Find Friend feature, as the name suggests, is just to help you find your friends.
When you click on it you will see a list of people that you might know.
This is based on the info you had provided like your hometown, school, workplace, etc.
You will find lots of people there but its not necessary that you will find who you want to connect.
So if you don't have the Find Friends tab or you are not able to find your friend on the find friends page, you can search for your friend by typing the name of your friend in the search box.
As you type in a name, you will automatically see the suggestion appearing under the search box.
In the above image you can see how the search box looks when you search.
There are two page suggestions at the top and then followed by the people.
The suggestions here also show that i have mutual friends with those people.That is probably the main reason why they appear in the suggestion list.
If you find your friend here then simply click on his name and you will be redirected to his profile where you can add him.
If the friend you are looking for is not in the suggestions, click on the "See more results..." link appearing at the bottom of the box.
This will open a search page where you will have more options for searching.
Initially you will see the page showing all results which includes pages, people, some posts and other things.
As you are looking for a profile, you need to select the "People" option from the menu at the left.
Here you can see some of the results.If you didn't find what you are looking for, click "See More Results".
There is a better way than the see more result thing.
You can use the search filters to make your search more precise.
There are three filters which help you to search better and fast.
In the beginning you will see only the "Location" filter. By clicking on the "Add another filter" link under it you can get the other two.
You can use all three or any one/two of them to search.
As you begin typing the name of any city, school, university or a company, you will get a list of suggestions from which you can select the appropriate option.
Do this for all the three filters (if necessary).
I hope you will find the person you were looking for using the search.
Have fun using Facebook!
