I Am Trying To Block A Person On My Privacy Screen By Name. I Get No Results.

I have tried to copy and paste, and tried typing in the name as well.  But I get no results found.  Why is that?  I see this person posting and using that name, why do I get "no results found"?  I'm trying to block a person named Pamatar Smith.  Can you assist?

There are three ways to block someone:
  1. Go to the Block Lists from your Privacy Settings page. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to block in the appropriate field and click "Block."
  2. If you cannot find someone using the person search field, you may be able to block that person by navigating to the "Report/Block this Person" link at the bottom of his or her profile page. Once you click this link, check the "Block this person" box and then click "Submit."
  3. You can also block someone through the "Report" link located next to messages in your Inbox.
