Tips

usage
Default phone/door-answering question once it's clear the caller hasn't reached who they expected. is read shéi in conversation, though dictionary form is shuí - both are correct.
register
Bare 找谁? on its own can sound curt. Soften with the polite frame 请问找谁? - adding 请问 ('may I ask') and the honorific makes it appropriate for strangers and customers.
