Description

Sherlock on Facebook is a bit hit or miss, specially if the user that your searching into changes his/her name. This make this script return false negative, because when you make Facebook account, your FB ID is permanent which is not effective if the user changes his/her name. Lastly, since there are many people that has the same name in Facebook. FB implemented random number suffix to each FB profile ID which makes searching difficult.

it can be enhanced by searching on Instagram first.
step 1: finding an Instagram account.
step 2: get his name and profile image.
step 3: search on FB with the name and try to match his profile pic.

we can find them also with their bio.

With Sherlock's current structure your idea unfortunately cannot be implemented. I'm sure there are tool dedicated to Facebook OSINT which do what you have stated.
