Finding people on the Web is getting easier and easier. Here are fifteen people search engines you can use to find the person you're looking for on the Web.

11. Zabasearch

Simply put, Zabasearch is a free people search engine that scours freely accessible public information and records. It's a free service, but you'll have to pay if you want more detailed information, such as background checks.

12. The Internet Address Book

You can use the Internet Address Book to search for email addresses, information, and more. This unique people search engine searches through a long list of social networking and bookmarking services in order to find what you might be looking for.

13. Socialgrapes

socialgrapes
Socialgrapes allows you to search across profiles, photos, and more to find who you might be looking for. Not the most powerful of the free people search engines profiled here, but definitely worth a try; you might be able to find something using Socialgrapes you wouldn't otherwise.

14. Copenda

You can use Copenda to find people on the Web with a bit of a twist: "Copenda is a new way to search and meet people on the Internet. Our unique search engine scans popular social networks and dating sites such as Myspace, Facebook, hi5, friendster, match, plentyoffish and more."

15. Naymz

Naymz is one of the more unusual free people search engines on this list; instead of using it to find people, you can use Naymz to actually be found more easily by creating a Naymz profile: "Start enhancing your online reputation by joining Naymz and creating a profile. Fill your profile with positive and accurate information that you want others to find when they search for you online. Invite up to 10 References to vouch for you."
