Chances are, there are many people on Facebook who you know, but aren't connected to yet. Facebook makes it possible for you to locate these individuals by allowing you to search by location, workplace and school. Therefore, if you want to find people you know in your area -- or simply want to make new friends -- all you need to do is enter your desired location into the search box to pull up a list of individuals who match your search criteria.
