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.
One can't ... one needs to serve the summons to appear to where someone lives ... no address available, nobody can serve the summons ... However, there are ways to obtain addresses for most anybody these days on the internet - may cost a bunch of $$, but it is possible.
what happen's if a respondent dose not serve the petitioner a response to a summons

If you are suing a city or other type of municipality, you serve the summons on the Clerk of the city or municipality.
It shows proof that valid efforts were made to serve you at a valid address. It also indicates that you are aware of proceedings. If process server attempts to serve again, go ahead and sign it, don't be fool. If no further attempt is made to serve, you should still respond.
Yes it is.

summons or subpoena, yes
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.
yes because the law states that every aralegalsummons serves apurpose
When an alias summons is returned unserved, it typically indicates that the process server was unable to deliver the summons to the defendant after multiple attempts. This may prompt the plaintiff to request a new alias summons to be issued so that the defendant can be properly notified of the legal action. Depending on jurisdictional rules, the plaintiff might need to provide evidence of the attempts made to serve the original summons. Ultimately, the court may allow further attempts to serve or may consider alternative methods of service.
