Step 5  Start searching!

If you didn't make it your default, start your google+ profile searches with the word "profile", and your google+ post searches with the word "post" (the keywords you set in steps 3 & 4). If you did make one of them your default, you can omit the "profile" or "post" keyword and just start typing a name in the address bar. You'll notice in grey text your Default search has been changed to Google+ Profiles Search.
