Can someone see if we search them on Facebook?

[Adamsman]

I sometimes search people on Facebook to see what they are up to but don't want to friend them. Will they see I have searched them as I thought I heard on the radio or do they only see if I hit add as friend?

If you add someone they get your friends request so obviously they noticed that you added them. They won't be able to see how you searched them up but they will notice the fact you added them, and if you are some random person to them then yeah lol

no they cannot but however they have a column on he/shes timeline stating how many profile views they have
