Photobucket has millions of registered members, so chances are that some of your friends have a Photobucket account. The company has disabled the Search Users feature, so finding your friends using the Search box is possible only if they used their names or email address in the photo captions. To make sure you find all your Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and Yahoo friends, connect Photobucket to each of these services using the Find Friends feature.

Try to find specific people by using the Search box near the top of the Photobucket page. Type the name or email address of the person and press "Enter" to start searching. If the name or email address is included in a photo caption, the photo is displayed in the list of search results. If you can't find the person you're looking for, try the Find Friends feature.
