Match is one of the most popular dating sites in the world. While it’s great in suggesting people who you might be compatible with, it can be a pain when you’re trying to find the profile of a particular person on the platform.

This is simply because Match is not designed to connect you with people you know in real life. Fortunately, there’re some ways to find people on Match. This guide will show you how to do it step by step.

1. Google Images Search

Google Images can be a powerful tool when it comes to finding someone’s social media account – it’s free to use and you don’t need to register for an account for the site.

If you wish to search for someone on Match, just open Google Images. Type the name of the person you’re looking for, then type site:match.com and hit Search.

This will bring up Match profiles under the name you entered. Look through the results to see if you can recognize the person’s profile. Note that the result may not be complete, but still it’s worth trying!

2. Username search

Unlike many dating sites, Match provides the username search feature that allows you to search for users on the platform by username. You can try searching the person’s name or social media username to see if they use the same username there ( because many people do use the same username on different social networks).

To search someone by username on Match, just log in to your account and go to Search. Then enter a potential username of that person you’re looking for into the Username search box and sift through the results.

3. Custom Search

If you’re not sure what username the person uses on Match, you can also try Match custom search using details you know about the person.

For example, if you know where the person lives, you can search by location. This will display all the profiles in the target location, which can still be overwhelming. So next, you want to filter out irrelevant profiles by searching their exact age.

If you live close to the person, you might also want to sort your search results by how far away from you they live.

This should hopefully, narrow down your searches. If you still couldn’t find the profile, read on and see what you can do to uncover someone’s dating profiles.

4. Use a People Search Engine

If you’re out of luck finding the person’s profile on Match or Google, your best bet to find out if they have a Match profile is with a dedicated people search tool like Social Catfish.

Social Catfish is an online dating investigation service that has one of the most comprehensive collections of dating site profiles and background information.

Searching with Social Catfish will return a detailed report that might include not only the person’s Match profile but also profiles on other dating sites like Tinder.

You can search with the person’s name:

If you know the person’s phone number, you can look up the phone number to see what comes up:

You can also search the person’s social media username to find out more information on him/her:

You’ll get a detailed report that matches the information you entered. Check to see if the person’s Match profile is listed in the report.
