Searching for people in the world. Yandex People - searching for people on social networks

Instructions

Use all the possibilities of the Internet to find a person by name and even if he is not on social networks. For example, alternately enter the person’s first name, last name and patronymic into each of the popular search engines - Yandex and Google. It is advisable to supplement the search query with other data known to you, for example, add your city of residence or place of work.

Study carefully the results of a person's search. If it is not on social networks (do not forget that in addition to the most famous “VKontakte” and “Odnoklassniki” there are many more similar resources: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, “My World”, etc.), it is quite possible that you will see mentions of a person on other resources. Many people use free classifieds sites or post their resumes on job search sites. In this case, the name and can be displayed in the search results, and next to them – the coordinates for feedback.

Use special sites that allow you to find a person by name and. One of the most popular and effective is “Poisk.Goon”. This is an entire social network in which people leave requests to find relatives and friends. There is also an extensive database on which you can try to find the one you need. An alternative option is the “Wait for Me” project, which works on a similar principle, but here it often takes more time to find a person. But the results are impressive. In addition, the most interesting stories are shown in the TV program of the same name.

Do not rush to discount social networks, as relatives or friends of the person you are looking for may be registered on them. Use the internal search on these sites to find suitable users (for example, or fellow students) and ask them to report the whereabouts of the person you are interested in. There are also many communities on social networks dedicated to searching for missing people. One of the largest, which has representative offices in various cities, is called “Lisa Alert”.

Contact a private detective or law enforcement if you urgently need to find a person by name and surname. This should be done in cases where a person goes missing and is absent for at least 3-7 days. Law enforcement agencies begin searching for missing children within 24 hours. But you should be wary of scammers who make money on someone else’s misfortune. Always ask the private investigator to show their license and avoid suspicious Internet sites that offer search assistance for a fee.

There are situations when you urgently need to contact a friend on social networks, and you only have his phone number. Social networks today have become a familiar part of our lives and almost every person has indicated their involvement in them by creating accounts on the most popular public pages. One of the most visited was the social network “in contact” (abbr. vk, vk). Today we are trying to figure out how to find a person by phone number on social networks, namely VKontakte.

Many social networks, when registering an account, ask for either a phone number or an email address. Most leave their phone number, as it is convenient and provides quick access to the social network both from a mobile phone and from any gadget - laptop, tablet.

Therefore, in order to find a person on VKontakte, it is enough to dial his phone number in any search engine indicating the social network, in our case “VKontakte”.

If a person has a VK account and has indicated his number in his contacts, the search engine will give you a link to his VK profile. In this case, the profile must be open and available for viewing by any user.

In the same way, you can detect user accounts in other social networks. networks, if a person indicated a phone number in his contacts. Such data analysis by a search engine takes a minimum of time, but it is rarely possible to find a person the first time. Don't despair - there are other ways.

The next method of searching for a profile involves manipulation directly in the VKontakte network itself. Why is it necessary:

Log out of your VK account - to do this, click Logout in the upper right corner or simply open an anonymous tab in the Chrome browser.
Go to the version for mobile phones at m.vk.com.
Next, select “forgot your password?”.
On the next page you need to enter your username, email or phone number. Enter the information you know - phone number.
Answer the “I am not a robot” captcha questions and select certain pictures.
In the next window, enter the last name of the person you are looking for. Most likely you know him. If not, you’ll have to get creative and look for information: enter a phone number into the search and hope that contacts with your full name will appear. Or you can look at the databases of telephone numbers that are massively leaked onto the Internet.
After this, a page will open with the account avatar and last name with the first name, as indicated on the page.
Now you need to enter the first and last name that were displayed in the previous paragraph into the VKontakte search and look through the avatars, looking for the one. You can filter the search if you know some information about the owner: city of residence, approximate age, education, etc.

How to find a person on VKontakte by phone number

This search method is more suitable for owners of Android phones with the vk mobile application installed on it.
Step-by-step instruction:

We write down the phone number of the person we are looking for on the social network in the contacts of our phone.
Go to the VK mobile application.
We go through the authorization procedure, if necessary. We enter the application settings. Select the “Account” item.
Next, in “Other” we find the line “contact synchronization”, then select the line “synchronize contacts only” and return to the main application screen:
We are looking for the “My friends” item and the “Add” or “+” item.
Here we offer the flexibility to add friends; we select “Contacts”.
Your contacts added to your phone contacts will be loaded. If the person you need is registered in VK, then he will be on this list. All you have to do is click the Invite button.

Search using special applications and programs

There are many software utilities and applications for searching people by phone number on social networks and on the Internet. As a rule, such applications and utilities are paid. I strongly do not recommend using them - most often it is just a scam for money. You will pay, connect your account to the application, and in the end you will lose both your finances and your profile. So don't take any chances.

Ask directly

There are times when you shouldn't complicate your life. The simplest and most accessible method is to find out the person’s profile directly by phone. Usually people don’t mind giving such information to their acquaintances in order to add them as friends and communicate in more comfortable conditions.

It is worth understanding that site administrations try to protect the personal information of their users as much as possible, so some methods of finding a person by phone number on social networks and VKontakte in particular may not work. All loopholes are quickly closed, but new techniques are found every time. If any method stops working, please let me know in the comments.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Let me make a reservation right away that the methods below for searching for people via the Internet (through social networks, search engines, special sites with databases, etc.) do not guarantee that you will definitely find them - they only give a chance. However, due to the fact that in this way it will be possible to find a person free completely unprepared person, suggests that it’s worth trying to use these recommendations - and maybe you’ll get lucky...

In general, it all depends on how important it really is for you to find someone. If you suddenly remembered a friend from school and you had a fleeting desire to spend some time searching for him via the Internet, then the tools below will help you with this desire. Moreover, if you don’t find it, you won’t be very upset if even at the search stage you don’t change your mind to continue.

In the case when Finding the right person is very, very important to you, then at the same time as carrying out search activities on the network on your own, I advise you to contact specialized government services that have complete information on the population of our huge country (a population census is conducted and periodically updated).

Another thing is that, unlike Soviet times, personal information is now protected and simply getting the address of the right person at the address bureau will not work, but this does not mean that this is not possible at all. Perhaps, just below, I will give the addresses and telephone numbers of government agencies where you should contact, and I will also describe a brief procedure for processing your application there to find the person you need (by first and last name, date of birth and similar information). Actually, let's look at everything in order (I wish you luck in advance, because you will need it).

Search for people on VKontakte (you can search on VK without registration)

If you don’t have time to bother searching for the person you need through the official authorities mentioned above (there is no such urgent need) or you are sure that the opponent you are looking for will not give permission to provide information about him, then you can always try independently search for it via the Internet.

This is especially true when searching for young and middle-aged people who, with a high degree of probability, can appear somewhere on the global network (register under your real last name and first name, indicate a real mobile phone number, Email, car number and the like, for which it will be possible to hook them and pull them out into the light).

The highest probability of finding a person by first and last name, by phone number (mobile or landline), by Email address and other similar things is, of course, provided in (the number of users registered in it is approaching the number of residents of Russia). You can read the details on registration and communication in it in the article at the link provided (you may need these skills if the search is successful and you need to make contact with the desired opponent).

To search for people in Contact, there is a separate tool (the “People” tab from the top menu). But before I start, I still, because if the search is successful, you will want to quickly contact the person you found, and this can only be done after authorization in the service. Himself, so it's up to you to decide.

If you still decide not to register on VKontakte, then just go to the page "people search" and enter the first and last name of the subject you are looking for.

If you are already registered, then you will be taken to the same search tab for living subjects by clicking on the “People” top menu item. This does not change the essence - the tab will open the same, whether with registration or without it.

Please note that in the above screenshot, the query for my last name and first name returned only two results, which is great, because you won’t have to look through thousands of profiles or try to filter them. But this will not always be the case. For example, Contact was found by as many as one hundred thousand people using this name:

Here You can’t do without additional conditions and filters, otherwise it will be possible to spend years studying all the profiles (and in vain, because among these Ivanovs there are not so many real people with such a surname, because “Ivan Ivanov” is something like a universal pseudonym Smith, which is constantly used in bourgeois films).

To narrow the search for the person you need in Contact, it will be enough to use the tools concentrated in the right column. For example, by indicating the country and city of residence, we will significantly reduce the circle of suspects. True, you should do this consciously, because if you make a mistake, you can filter out the very person you were looking for and ultimately not find it. For some types of surnames, it makes sense to explicitly indicate gender.

When searching for classmates and fellow students, you can respectively indicate the school and university where they studied (indicating the class, department, year of graduation). This will again weed out unnecessary people from the list, provided that the person you are looking for indicated this information in their profile and did it correctly (did not make a mistake or did not intentionally distort it).

If you have information about the age of the person you are looking for (and it’s absolutely great if you know his birthday), then don’t use this either (the date of birth can be specified in the drop-down menu of the lowest “Advanced” filter) to narrow the search circle on VKontakte. Just in case, you can indicate the age in the range so as not to miss.

If nothing is found this way, you can try search for people on the VKontakte website using Yandex or Google(read about that, and even smarter ones). To do this, it will be enough to enter the following request in their address bar:

Site:vk.com First Name Last Name

True, this method will only work for those user profiles who, in the VK settings, have not blocked their data from being indexed by search engines. By default, everything is open, but especially suspicious people can close this information to search engines - you won’t find them this way (only directly from the VKontakte website).

If possible, increase the likelihood of a successful search by including in the circle of wanted known to you acquaintances and relatives of this person. One of them may appear on the network and you, by pulling this thread, will unravel the whole tangle. By the way, fill out your VKontakte page, because some people do not respond to messages from those whose page is empty (they don’t want to waste their time on empty chores).

Also note that there are also abandoned VK pages, so the mere fact of finding the desired subject does not mean that you will be able to successfully contact him. Please note that at the top of the personal page on VKontakte it is written when its owner last appeared here.

How to find a person by photo on VKontakte

How to do it? You can, of course, use it by selecting the VK profile of the person you are looking for on the results page. But for this, the photo that is being searched must be added to the person’s profile, which is unlikely. However, there is another, more productive method.

You just can leave a search request in the VK thematic group, focused on finding people in a specific city or region. To do this, use the corresponding item in the left menu to go to “Groups”, as a result of which on the page that opens you will see a line at the top where you can search for communities on the Vkontakte social network. You can type something like “I’m looking for you in Moscow” into this line and look at the result:

Go to the most popular communities and click on the button "Suggest news":

Then fill out an application to find the person you need on VK (with a photo attached) and click on the “Suggest news” button. After the group moderators approve your news for publication, you will see it on the main page of this group, as well as many thousands of people who have subscribed to the news of this community.

All this significantly increases the likelihood of successfully tracing people through VKontakte, even if you don’t know their first or last name, but only have a photo. Surely, in the comments to your application, someone will write a guess about who might be depicted in the photo (it all depends on the ratio of the number of subscribers the group has and the dense population of the region to which this group of people belongs). A similar group can be found for almost any city in the CIS countries, because VK is very unusually popular among the Russian-speaking audience.

How to find a person by last name and first name on the Internet?

As you already understand, the Internet is well suited for searching for information, including people. Another thing is that there is no such unambiguous place (site) where you are 100% likely to find your counterpart. Everything is somewhat blurry, so in order to increase the likelihood of success, you will have to visit many resources suitable for this purpose and try your luck there.

One of the nice things is that no one online will ask you why you are looking for this particular person? Even if your intentions are not too pure, this will not affect the final result at all. And besides this for free, and the process itself can be considered as a certain kind of entertainment (like solving a charade or a rebus).

But the last name and first name alone may not be enough (especially if they are extremely common). It would be advisable to have at least approximate information about your date of birth, place of residence, place of study, etc., because this will significantly narrow the scope of your search and save you from routinely reviewing all the answers to your request (and they can sometimes count into the thousands).

If you can’t find a specific person (not everyone indicates their real first and last name in social network profiles), then try look for some of his friends or relatives, which then may well lead you to it. It is quite possible that one of them appeared online under their real names, indicated a real address or telephone number.

When the phone number is known, you can try to find the person or his relatives using special regional databases, which are abundantly presented on the Internet both in the form of websites and in the form of files for downloading (there is also the option of purchasing them at some malls or markets) . You can also perform a reverse search on similar databases, i.e. enter the first name, last name, place of residence and date of birth, receiving as a reward the phone number of this person so that you can contact him.

Let me just bring list of specialized sites and services, which may well help you by name and surname to try to find the people you need:

Yandex People— search through popular social networks. On the one hand, this is convenient, because you don’t need to search in each network separately, but on the other hand, many users in the settings close their profiles on social networks for indexing by search engines and Yandex will not be able to add such profiles to its database, which means they there won't be any.
But it’s quite possible to start with this service, because if you find the right person by name here, you’ll save a lot of time. Well, if you don’t find it, then you’ll have to go directly to Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki and other networks.
poisk.vid.ru - official website of the TV program “Wait for Me.” Here you can either submit a search request yourself for free, or view existing requests in case this person is also looking for you.
www.odnoklassniki.ru and www.mates.ru/ - if you need to find a person and you know his last name, first name, patronymic, as well as the place and time of study, then these social networks can be successfully used for this purpose, because, in essence, this catalogs of school and university graduates for several decades.
centrpoisk.ru is a paid site for finding people, allegedly using the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can enter almost any installation data: first and last name, telephone number, car number, etc. It’s really difficult to say how things stand, because I haven’t tried to submit applications. If you used the services of CenterPoisk, then write about the results in the comments to this article - it will be useful for everyone.
poisk365.ru is another paid site for searching people by last name and first name. Again, you will have to form an opinion about him yourself if you decide to use his services.
vk.com , facebook.com, my.mail.ru, vkrugudruzei.ru and other social networks. networks - in each of them you can try to search for people by entering known full name data (there is a separate article about it, which I strongly advise you to read). Another question is that the user can use his first and last name, trying not to show too much (which is quite consistent with the current situation).
is a very popular messenger in our country, which is used by everyone, young and old. This means we can try to use it for our own purposes - try to find through it a person by his first and last name (if he did not modify them when registering and filling out his profile). The search field is located in the upper right corner of the Skype program window:
Just enter your first and last name, and if there are too many results, then also your city of residence. To see more detailed information about a person, click on him in the list, and then on his avatar on the page that opens. Many of the people you find will have photos in their profiles, which will greatly facilitate the process of finding the person you need.
If the object is found, then click on the “Add to contact list” button. At the same time, a message will be sent to this Skype user, which you will type in the form that opens. Try to explain to him who you are and why you are getting into his contacts. By the way, the same trick with your ears can be done in a less popular messenger called .
findme.mos.ru is a website that helps find missing people in Moscow.

How to find a person by phone number

Sometimes you need to find the installation details of someone using a phone number you have. In principle, this requires telephone databases (preferably new ones that include mobile numbers). However, there is practically no such thing freely available on the Internet (with the exception of those services that I will give below). You can try to contact the mobile operator and ask for consent from the subscriber you need to provide his personal data.

However, there are simpler ways to find a person’s installation data by his mobile phone number (or vice versa - find out the phone number by last name and first name):

Search people by photo

We can probably imagine a situation where, apart from a photo, you have no other data on the wanted subject, or this data does not give the desired result (full name, he registered on social networks under fictitious data, the identifying data you have turned out to be incorrect, etc. ). In principle, there is only one chance left - searching using the photo you have.

There are a number of very large services on the Internet. This is mainly Google and, more recently, Yandex, but there are several other players in this market (for example,), which are discussed in the above article. How exactly to conduct a search is described in more detail there, so I won’t repeat myself: if you want, you can read it.

You can search by inserting into the URL search bar the address of a photo posted on the network (for example, one you found on one of the social networks, where there is no installation information you need, but you hope to find other profiles of this user in other social networks, where he will be more frank). The URL can be copied by right-clicking on the photo in the browser and selecting the context menu item “Copy image address” (or something similar in meaning - depends on the browser you are using.

You can also upload a photo to the address bar from your computer by specifying the path to it.

But you need to understand that the service will search for exactly the same photo, and not the specific person depicted on it. Although, apparently, this is not applicable to large scales of data (the size of the entire Internet) or is applicable, but has not yet been fully implemented. It is possible that when you read this article, such functionality will already appear in Google photo search.

Again, if you can’t find someone, then try to look for one of his acquaintances (relatives) whom you know. It is possible that they are not so secretive (they indicate their real identifying information on social networks) and through them you will be able to reach the subject you are looking for. In war, as they say, all means are good...

How to find a person by email address

If you only have Email (if you don’t know, then read that as a separator - interesting information), then in the same way you can enter it into the search bar of the most popular social networks (Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Moi Mir and etc.) - if this address was indicated by one of the users registered there, then you will be able to see his profile and get the information available about him from there.

If, after browsing through social networks, you haven’t found anything, then try inserting the Email into the Yandex or Google search bar. It is quite possible that this user has his own website, blog, or is registered on a forum where he indicated this Email address. There it will be possible to quite legitimately enter into a debate with him and, having gained trust, receive the required installation data (but I didn’t tell you that).

Do not neglect the opportunity to write a message to the person you are looking for - fortunately you have his postal address. If you don't want to glow, you can. You can try using social engineering methods to extract the data you need from him, promising something interesting. But here you need talent or experience, because our citizens have become quite vigilant. Which is what I urge you to do too - not always a buzz when I can easily find you via the network those you would not want to see or would never voluntarily want to communicate with.

You can also search by Email, for example, in instant messengers such as Skype, ICQ and others.

Good luck in your search! Don't forget to bookmark this page in case someone you know needs it too.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Where can you find a person on the Internet?

In order to find a person on the Internet there are a large number of resources, and first of all these are social networks. First, think about what social network a person can be registered with. He may not be registered on social networks, he may be registered on several or only one social network. networks. It is best to start your search with the most powerful social network in which you can be registered.

As practice shows, young people, predominantly under 35 years of age, register on the social network VKontakte, and less often on Facebook. Older people, over 30, most often register on the social network Odnoklassniki and Moi Mir. Accordingly, if you are looking for a young girl or guy, then start your search on the VKontakte social network, but if the person you are looking for is more mature, then you will have a better chance of finding him on Odnoklassniki.

How to find a person on the Internet

In order not to limit your search to a particular social network, you can search for a person through the Yandex or Google search engine. To search for a person, enter the person’s first and last name in the search bar, and it is also advisable to enter the city of residence and date of birth. Searching for people on the Internet is very well implemented in the Yandex search engine, where there is a special service that searches for people: “people.yandex.ru”. If the search in Yandex did not produce results, then try doing it in the Google search engine.

Sometimes you can find information about a person, but not the person himself. For example, by entering a person's position, you may be able to find information about him, for example, a contact work phone number, or an ICQ number, with which you can contact him. You can also find his personal blog, website, forum posts, etc. If searching for a person in search engines does not produce results, try doing this on popular social networks.

How to find people on VKontakte
Let's look at how to find a person using the example of the social network VKontakte. Finding a person in a contact is very easy. To do this, you need to be registered in this social network so that the full functionality of the resource is available to you. By going to the official website of the network, click on the “People” section at the top of the menu. After this you will be taken to the search page. In the search bar where it says “Start typing any name, title or word,” place the cursor and enter the first and last name of the person you are looking for.

If you are looking for a person whose first and last name is quite common, then you can narrow your search by entering additional information about him, for example: university, age and date of birth. If you know the person’s exact city of residence, you can enter that too. You can search for people on other social networks in the same way.

How to find a person by mail

You can find a person by mail through a search engine by entering the mail address in the search bar. Also, you can find a person, having his e-mail address, on many services. For example, you can find a person by email address on the social network Facebook; to do this, you need to enter the e-mail address in the search bar of the network. The same can be done in the microblogging service Twitter. If you have a person’s email address that is registered in the Gmail (Google) or Mail.Ru services, then the user can be immediately found in the social services of these email clients: G+ and My World, respectively.

How can you find a person who has not been found?

You can find a person on the Internet if he is not on social networks or you have very little information about him in the following way. Maybe you saw or know that this person was communicating or being friends with someone you know, so you can try to find the person through his friends. You can also try to find a person through his classmates, classmates or relatives.

Let's give an example. You want to find on the Internet a person who works in a store whose branch is located in a shopping and entertainment center. For example, you couldn’t find this person on social networks, or you don’t know his first or last name, but you know that an employee of this person communicates with your friend who works in a boutique in the same shopping and entertainment center. Thus, first try to find an employee of the person you are looking for on your friend’s social network page, through whom you can find the person you are looking for. In your own case, follow the same scheme and logical chain.

The same applies to childhood friends, classmates, and classmates. If you cannot find a specific person, then try to find him or her through people with whom he or she communicated or through their relatives. For example, you are looking for your classmate, but you cannot find her on social networks because you do not know where she lives and what her married name is. Try to find her through friends and relatives, for example, if she has a brother, then try to find him first.

What to do if searches do not produce results? If you want to find a person, and not just information about him, then use the services of the “Wait for Me” TV show, where a team of people who have experience in searching will help you find the person you are looking for. It is possible that even the person you are looking for is looking for you and has submitted a search request to this service.

Most large sites have long had additional methods of application; social networks are no exception. Now, to find the right person, you just need to use the search, but sometimes you don’t want to register on the site, although this may not be required.

You can also search for people on social networks without registration, and you will learn how to search from this article. Even law enforcement agencies actively use popular sites, since with their help you can collect a lot of information about a person and determine his social circle.

How to search for people on social media networks without registration?

Considering how developed the Internet is now, it is safe to assume that almost everyone can be found. Of course, there are still some people who do not use social media. networks, but even they create pages for themselves, filling them with inauthentic data. If you need to find a person, use . Why VKontakte? According to statistics, most Russians use it.

To conduct a search on this site, you do not need to register, go to Vk.com and go to the “People” section:

In addition to allowing you to enter your first and last name, there are various filters available in the sidebar. There are a lot of people with the same last name and first name, so they will definitely be useful to you:

In the same way, you can continue your search in others. Unfortunately, the search function is closed on some sites, so you will have to use alternative methods.

Search for people on all social networks at once

When you use search within a site, it is easier to find data, but it is more convenient to search through search engines. To do this, you can use the service yandex.ru/people. It also allows you to search for people on social networks without registration, and on all sites at once. Just follow the link, enter first and last names, and also use filters for a more precise search:

Please note that the “More” filter allows you to find people on specific sites. This is much more convenient, but if the page is new or if it is not indexed, then it may not be here, so you will have to go to each site separately and search manually.

Search for a person by photo

If you have a photo, you can try to find the person through search engines. The exact same photo must be uploaded on his page, since the search is carried out not by the face, but by the entire photo. For example, this is how you can find a person from a dating site, since photos are usually uploaded there and on social media. networks.

To conduct such a search, go to Google (you can also use Yandex). You need to go to the image search and click on the camera symbol:

You will be asked to provide a link to the image or upload it from your computer. You can simply right-click on the photo and copy the link to the image, if this is too difficult, save the photo on your computer and then upload:

It is convenient that such a search is carried out not only on social networks, but also on many other sites. Who knows, maybe the person will be found somewhere else:

If all searches for the photo have not yielded any results, try posting the photo on the forums, maybe someone will recognize a familiar face (if the city is known, use city portals, this will give you a better chance of finding the person).
