If you use facebook, could you please do me a favour and click on the magnifying glass icon (this is at the top right hand corner). When you click on it? It should bring up a list of people you have searched for. Can you let me know if the list is correct (ie, names of people only appear on there if you have actually searched for them)

    No mine came up with this


    Where are my privacy settings?
    How do I edit basic info on my profile and choose who can see it?
    When I post something, how do I choose who can see it?
    How do I change the audience of a post I've shared on my Timeline?
    How do I remove a tag from a photo or post I’m tagged in?
    How do I control who can search for me using my email address or phone number?

    Who can add me as a friend?

    Hope this helps :)

  • when I press the magnifying glass nothing comes up, but maybe iv not searched for anybody recently! this is on my iphone.

    this is a loaded question isn't it? could the answer cause arguments with your other half maybe?...

    It's people I've actually typed in to find, not on my Facebook if that helps?

    So if there's nothing there, if you type in Joe blogs and select one, thenext time you hit that button Joe blogs will come up .

    I used to teach for ceop so if you are having any problems let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction .

  • It does this on mine and drive me mad, even if I put the first letter in it brings up everyone with that letter.

    is there some way of stopping this happening

    Oh and it has brought up people I have not searched for also

    I've absolutely searched for people (one this morning) but nothing comes up when I click, it just says "enter a query".
