Yes, but it also can be used instead of proper looking for someone.  My 
High School reunion people could not find my for my last one, since they 
could not find me on the social networks.  They failed to Google my 
name.  My phone number and my email address had not changed, but they 
did not contact me that way either.  By the time I found out that they 
"could not find me" it was too late to be a part of the dress-up 
sit-down dinner.  SO, if you need to find someone, please look in as 
many ways as possible.  Just because he or she is not on/in the social 
networks does not mean they cannot be found some other way.  Also, if 
someone claims to be Darryl Traverstein, it does not mean "she" is a 
"he" or "he" is a "she" pretending to be a "he", and/or the correct 
Darryl Traverstein.  It can be difficult getting the right person.  We 
have had too many people pretending to be what/who they are not and 
causing problems for others thinking that they can get away with it.  So 
make sure you search many ways and verify the person's identity.

I am semi lucky.  My last name is not a proper spelling, and was made up 
by Ellis Island personnel since my great grand father had a name that 
was too common.  He either had to take the new last name or face rejection.
