If you don't find the person you're seeking, you can welcome her to join Facebook (Searching for Individuals Who Typically Aren't Facebook Members).

As well as if you've activated your cellular phone with Facebook (see Establishing Facebook Mobile), you could turn on the "Subscribe using SMS" checkbox to have that person's posts sent to your phone.
After you click Send Request, you see a Good friend Demand Sent dialog box that lets you recognize Facebook has actually sent out an invite to your prospective buddy's e-mail address as well as published a buddy request to her Facebook Web page (Viewing Your Facebook Web Page).
While you're waiting to listen to back from your pal, a "Friend Asked for" button replaces the usual "Include as Friend" button beside her name in your search results, when you visit her account, you see an "Waiting for good friend confirmation" tag alongside her name.
