For advanced search, click on advance search at the top of the page, a page will appear and just below the search people banner.
There is a "search" "advance search" box click the advance search option and a new page will apprear with 3 boxes running left to right.
The Search enables you to find people you are looking for as well as conduct a search for people who might be looking.
To look for people click on the name box and then select from the deisplayed criteria under the heading "who I'm looking for"
To see if people are looking for you, you click on the name box and then select from the displayed criteria under the heading "who is looking for me"
In the 3rd box (right hand side) put the name relevant to your search if known, if not known then click the name box and list the options that you do know about i.e sex at birth, birth year ect ect.
But for this example just put the name in the 3rd box then underneath "name" there is add criteria, click this and another 3 boxes appear on the next line. Click it again and another 3 and again another 3 will appear giving 12 boxes in total.
Go back to the second one and put in birth year and then type the year that you want in the right hand box.

If you want to expand it further, go to the 3rd line of boxes down and put in region born and choose a region from a drop down.
Repeat the same process with the 4th box down and put in sex at birth, male or female.
This request means the search will look for anyone with that name in the first box, or who's message contains that name or birth year and the region born with the sex chosen.
