You can search for a friend by his/her Facebook profile name or even with his/her email address.
If you know the Facebook profile name of a person or a friend you are looking for, then it will be very easy to find them unless they have public profile. If they have limited their profile visibility through privacy settings, you may not find their profiles.
Well, if your friend has allowed everyone to look his/her profile then your problem is solved.
Steps to search your friend by his/her email address.
First Step (Well, its last step also :-) ) : Login to your Facebook account and type the persons name or email address in the 'Facebook Search' box. This box can be found at the top of the page.
That's it! As I said earlier, if the persons privacy settings are public, you can find them easily. With Facebook's instant search feature, you will be given a list of people names while you are entering the name or email address.
You have seen the way to find a person's Facebook profile using their name or email address. Now, if you don't want your profile to be searched by your email address, then you have to change few privacy options and you are invisible.
