Press down on that, and it will allow us to search
.
We've entered a phone number to search. This is one of many ways to search for someone on Facebook. The first way is simply to type in their name. However, if the name is common, it may be quite difficult to find them because there may be a lot of people on Facebook with that same name. We might not recognize their profile photo as well, especially if they don't have a clear photo of their face. We can also use a phone number to search for someone. We won't know if that other person has added a phone number to their account, but we can still try to use it to search for them. We can also use an email address to search. We won't know if that particular person has added an email address to their account, but it is a way to try to find someone on Facebook. Both the phone number and email address are more specific ways and better ways to find someone because we are actually searching for an individual phone number or email address rather than searching for a name that many people may share.

After typing in some information in the search bar, either a name, phone number or email address, it should provide us with a list of possible matches
.
Depending on which type of search data used we'll either see one option, or we'll see many options. As we've mentioned, it is better to use the person's phone number or email address. Then we will just see the one option.
