Can FindMy locate a phone with cell data off and Wi-Fi on but not connected?

Will FindMy locate a phone if cell data is turned off on that phone?

Will it work if Wi-Fi is on but not connected to the Wi-Fi source in the building?

Paired to a Computer:

If your device is paired alongside a computer, though bluetooth, and that device it situate aside it, then that is where you'll potentially see it in Find My.
