Search for the person using their name. Below are different examples of how this could be done. If a user has a common name such as the below example adding the state, area code, etc. will help refine the search.

Search popular social networking sites such as MySpace is another quick method of locating someone using Google. For example, if you were wanting find your high school classmates you could type a search similar to the below example.

site:www.myspace.com 1997 "west jordan"
In the above example the "site:www.myspace.com" tells google to only search for pages that are on MySpace. All keywords used after this are what are being searched for. In this case 1997 (being the year graduated) and "West Jordan" being the high school name. Keep in mind this is a very basic example and would require that the person you're looking for has a MySpace page.

Find images, many people upload photos and images to the Web, and these images can usually found using a simple Google Images search. Navigate to Google Images, and use the person's name as a jumping-off point. You can sort your image results by size, relevance, color, type of photo, type of view, and how recently the photo or image was uploaded. In addition, you can use an image you already have to search for more information. You can upload an image from your computer, or you can drag and drop an image from the Web. Google will scan the image and deliver search results that are related to that specific image.

Finally, if you tired from searching in google try another search engine like Yahoo or Bing with the same methods shown above.
