How to find a person "in contact"? Quick Guide to Using Popular Social Media Search

Nowadays, more and more users of "Runet" are becoming regulars on various social networks. One of the most popular of them is the VKontakte resource, where more than one hundred and forty million users are currently registered. Looking at this enormous figure, inexperienced users involuntarily raise the question - how to find a person "in contact" among so many registered in this social network? You can find out about this if you read this article to the end.

Before you begin the search, you must register yourself in this popular social network. To do this, you need to fill out a simple form, then you can optionally upload your own photos and provide your page with additional information (this is done primarily to make it easier for your friends to find your profile), after which you can try to find people in VK .

To simplify the search for pages of people you know as much as possible, the creators of this social network have created a number of useful tools. The simplest of them is the "Search" on the site, which is famous for "Contact". Searching for people using this tool located at the top of the page works very simply - you just need to enter the name and surname of the “wanted person” in this line, as you will immediately see the result, consisting of a list of all registered users with this name and with such last name. But sometimes this is clearly not enough. After all, how to find a person “in contact” if he has several hundred namesakes living all over the world? Do not rush to despair or start browsing all the pages issued by the search in order to find the right profile. Try using the so-called "advanced search".

If the initial search gave you too many profiles, then you can significantly reduce their number by indicating additional information about the person you need. Even such parameters as the country and city of residence can reduce the number of profiles from a few hundred to one or two dozen. And if you enter even more detailed information — the place of training, the military unit where the “sought-after” person served, the place of work, marital status, and so on, then you can find the exact profile that you needed.

But there are other options for answering the question of how to find a person "In Contact". For example, if you know the ID of the profile you need (this information can be provided directly by the owner of the page or your common acquaintance), then just write it in the browser line after the address of the resource itself (http://vk.com/) and you will automatically get to the page you are interested in.

Do not forget that if a person decided not to enter such detailed information about himself or entered information that does not correspond to reality (for example, changed his first or last name), then he simply will not be included in the results of your search. But how to find a person "In Contact" in this case? For starters, you can try to study the lists of possible friends of this person. You may be able to notice him in photographs of mutual acquaintances and find out under what pseudonym he is “hiding”. But do not forget that such a "deductive" method does not always guarantee a 100% result.

Now you know how to find a person “in Contact” and you must understand that if someone from your friends is very “conspiracy”, then not everyone will be able to find him. But if this is your good friend, whom you are interested in, it may well happen that he himself will find your page and be the first to offer you “friendship”. If this did not happen, then it is entirely possible that this person does not deserve the efforts that you make to find him.
