Now that this puzzle is solved, can you explain how it was intended to be solved?

It was solved using reverse image search, which was present when this puzzle was created but not very reliable for uncommon images. So it's likely that you did not intend for it to be solved via a reverse image search.

So what was the intended way to arrive at the solution?

It says that it was supposed to be a test of the "six degrees of separation" theory. So presumably the idea was that if every player asked everyone they knew if they recognized the guy, there was a reasonable chance that someone would.
