It depends on the service ... sometimes they have facilities to look up information, but it will only show as much information as that use wants to make public. In general it's pretty useless, and there's nothing else.

Hey. 99.99% of the time you've lost track of someone, it is the other person's doing. Let it go. Move on with your life.

Well, this very site, http://ask-leo.com, and the mailbag site, http://mailbag.ask-leo.com are that database. If you use the Google Search box on every page, you'll be searching both.

And since you posted, and posting requires javascript also, I'll assume you managed to turn that on :-).

your information is outdated. when I go to search for anyone, I can find no advanced search anymore. All i can do is put in a first name and all it brings up is first names..... NOTHING More... I hate the new profile and yahoo member directory, why dont they leave things alone?
