The gap being that Facebook etc., only use 'current' names, but if searching for a female school-friend for example, unless you know their current surname, it is next to impossible.
Searching via a school or work place often worked well.
It needs to be a stand alone site.
I'm on Facebook under my married name but with my maiden name in brackets after it and people find me alright. Why does it have to be 'standalone'? I have 2 very successful Facebook groups - one for my high school and one for my first workplace, where I worked for 10 years before coming to NZ. Several hundred people in each one and many that I knew a long time ago.
