From the comfort and convenience of home, it’s possible to locate almost anyone, anywhere by doing a People search online. This ability has increased in popularity as more search engines offer this option and as more people subscribe to social networking sites. People all over the world are re-connecting with first loves and favorite teachers. Oddly, the majority of people with this capacity at their fingertips search for themselves first. It’s just natural curiosity for people to want to know what information about them is available to others.
Although a People search in search engines can be very useful for locating people, doing a quick search can be less than effective at times. This leads to a great deal of frustration for the searcher. With the following tips, the search will produce more specific results. These will hold true whether you are searching names or any other topic. Try enclosing the keyword or search name in quotation marks. For example, doing a search for Tom Smith will produce millions of results. By adding the quotation marks, as in “Tom Smith”, it will only pull up results with the two words listed together, thereby reducing the number of results to the hundreds of thousands instead of millions.
In addition to the quotation marks, consider adding a location, which would go in another set of quotation marks, “Tom Smith”"Chicago, IL”. This will further reduce your results to less than a hundred thousand, making your success probability much higher. Another common tip is using the +. By placing + in front of the keyword, it will only pull results that include that specific wording, phrase or quote. If you do a search and it pulls too many of a specific thing and it’s not your desired result, then add the - in front of the word or words you want it to ignore in the search. You can also try using the advanced search feature which allows the entry of more information that may help narrow the field some. Read the advanced search tips on the search engine you are using, learning to effectively use the People search will increase your chances at success.
