It can depend on the legal situation which is attempting to be complied with.
(1) For someone who needs immediate service, a search can be made of post office forwarding files - real estate and/or tax records - DMV license/registration files - the IRS for addresses to which tax refunds are mailed - etc.
(2) If you are simply satisfying a requirement for searching for an unknown person to deliver them notification of some pending legal action, usually the publication of the legal notice in a 'newspaper of general circulation' in the area, for a certain number of days, will satisfy the requirement. Contact your local Court Clerk's office to determine the requirement for your particular jurisdiction.

A creditor is suing me but the summons was returned unserved. Can they still have court date Florida?
No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.

A creditor must serve a "summons", along with a complaint, not a "subpoena".

A subpoena is an order for a witness to appear in court or at a deposition to give testimony.
