Instruction manual
1
Set the desired last name in all Internet search engines known to you. For example, Google.com and Yandex.ru often produce different results for the same query. Use the spelling not only in Cyrillic, but also in Latin. If your friend moved to live abroad, then his last name now looks different.
2
Add the name of the person you are looking for in the search bar. Even if the surname is rare enough, it alone is not enough. You do not need to enter a name only if you are looking for a celebrity. Then the search engines will give the desired link in the first lines.
3
Save all useful information you find. It is possible that the person you need was published somewhere, spoke, posted your resume. Using these facts, you can try to find it already using the phone and the coordinates found.
4
Search for the most popular social networks. Some of the answers will be given to you by search engines. For example, Google will report registered users on its Google+ network and Facebook. Yandex will provide information about joining My Circle, Mail will talk about the members of My World.
5
Log in to your account in Vkontakte and in Odnoklassniki to search there for the desired last name. If you are not their user, you will have to either register or ask someone from your friends who use these networks to request service.
6
Add not only the name to the search query, but also the year of birth and the intended place of residence. In this case, you will have to view less unnecessary information.
7
Remember, with whom this person can maintain relationships, correspond. This is necessary if the search did not return results. Perhaps the person you need prefers to use a nickname or a pseudonym. Then you need to apply another tactic: look for "about."
8
Browse your friend’s wanted friend lists. Perhaps someone has already made contact with him. And you will not find a person by name, but by photo.
9
Refer to the help of specialized resources if your own searches have failed.
