Search Box Thing Tech People Help

How can I do advanced people searches on Facebook? I'm trying to find a girl I met, and I know a few details about her (but not her name), but Facebook doesn't appear to allow me to specify females with specific profile details.

There are, at the moment, 1.44 billion active Facebook users which is almost about a seventh of the world’s population of 7 billion. Finding someone halfway across the world only by their name can be quite a daunting task. There would be hundreds of Sarahs and Johns with Facebook accounts.But you’d soon realize that Facebook advanced search is a robust tool that helps you refine your search using certain filters to efficiently find someone.Here are a few easy steps telling you how to use Facebook’s advanced search so you can find that long, lost childhood friend of yours:-Step 1 of using Facebook advance search:-Go to Facebook and log in to your account. You will reach your homepage.Step 2:Type the name of the person/celebrity/page you want to search for in the search bar. You can also add the name of the city the person lives in, or the school they studied in, or any other details you know, right after the name to further enhance your search.Here, for instance, we have typed “Adele New York” to look for a person with the name Adele who lives in New York.Step 3:Click the magnifying glass to view the complete list of results and to refine your search.Step 4:You can filter the search on people, pages, groups or apps on this screen. You can also search for photos and places.When you specify it to people, you get the result for people named Adele who live in New York.Step 5:To further simplify your search to only people you may know, you can use the Find Friends option. This can be found under your friend requests.Step 6:Scroll down to the Search for Friends option on this screen.Step 7:Now you can put in the details of the person you are looking for, such as their city, their school or college, their employers or your mutual friend(s), and see the results!Hopefully, you will find whoever you are looking for using these useful search filters. It is definitely more convenient than having to sift through a list of hundreds of people with the same name, trying to recognize them from the tiny thumbnails of their profile pictures.In case you are searching for some long lost friend and couldn’t find them, do comment and we’d try to help as much as we can. In case you are trying to find an option of doing something opposite of trying to get in touch with some, check out our post about blocking and unblocking a Facebook friend.

I have a MacBook Pro so I use Safari. But on Tumblr whenever I want to search a new tag it always fills it in with an old search. I want to delete all my old tag searches. i have tried emptying my cache but that didn't help and I haven't seen the delete history thing that people say should be there. If you have any idea on how to get rid of the tag search history it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

What font does Google use in their search box?

When using a search engine, what does a minus (-) and plus (+) sign used with keywords in the search box mean? Can this be explained in brief with the help of an example?

These are called search operators and are used to ease out your searching on Google so that you get to your required information as quickly as possible.Minus (-) and plus (+) are used to signify the topic around which you want the results to be.For example, when you type in “Apple”, depending on your search history, you’ll either get results for the Apple products or the Apple fruit or a mix of both.However, if you type in Apple -fruit, Google considers this as you want to subtract the results related to fruit from your search. So most of the results that you see will be related to Apple products.On the contrary, if your type in Apple +fruit, Google considers this as you want to include results for fruit in your search and hence most of the results will be about the fruit apple.When searching for something on Google, we often use a hyphen (- looks exactly like a minus sign) to indicate something we want to be included. This gives us the exact opposite results.So remember to use - to exclude things and + to include things.Hope it is clear!

How does one clear search type-ahead results in Facebook?

This question is how I found Quora. I was dissappointed to find that it is not actually answered here, but since then I've found out some information.There is no way to clear the type-ahead guesses in the new facebook graph search. Several people have asked on facebook and their tech support people have said there is no way to do it. The typeahead guesses are apparently not stored on your local machine, as they are independent of browser and location. Therefore, clearing cookies and search histories will not do it. Nor will clearing your search history on facebook.The only way to get rid of those embarrassing pages you clicked on once is to fill up your database with newer searches, and hope that the old ones eventually expire. And hope that facebook puts in a way to clear it in the future.

How do you search on Quora?

SeeHow does the Quora search box work?How do you search on Quora?How does Quora search work?How does one search for existing questions on Quora rather than adding a new one?Could I search Quora for a question already existing? How?Yes, it is a very good question!At the bottom of the questions that match the words you typed, there is a ‘real search’ option!There is a ‘Filter’ button that lets you only see questions, answers, people etc.It is confusing that the same thing searches, suggests, and can ask questions, but you do get used to it.Type the most important words first (or just the beginnings of each word). E.g. [search quora quest]Searching [Why can’t you] is not going to find your question.There is also a ‘Similar Questions’ feature. It is worth checking after each question you ask - even if search didn’t suggest an existing question, you might find one there? Even better, there may be some answers already!If you do find a near-enough question, please ‘merge’ the new one into it: that will help the next person!You can learn more in the topics :-Search (Quora feature)Question Merging (Quora feature)
