How Global Search Works

Start with a single identifier — a name, a phone number, a photo. The engine cross-references it against records from 190+ countries and assembles a complete dossier in seconds.

Three Steps from Query to Dossier

Enter any identifier. A name, phone number, email address, identity document, physical address, or a photo. You don't need to know which type will produce results — the engine queries all relevant record types simultaneously.
Cross-reference across sources. Records from different databases are linked through shared identifiers. A phone number connects to an address; that address connects to a name; that name connects to document numbers, vehicles, and family members. Each link is traced automatically.
Receive a unified dossier. Thousands of matched and verified records are assembled into one coherent intelligence profile: full name and aliases, date of birth, identity documents, address history, phone numbers, email addresses, employer, vehicles, social profiles, and photographs — with source citations for every data point.

Search Methods

By Name

Full or partial name with fuzzy matching across transliterations, misspellings, and cultural name variants. A search for "João Silva" will also surface records with "Joao Silva", "J. Silva", and phonetic near-matches. Results are ranked by confidence score.

By Phone Number

Reverse phone lookup across global datasets. International numbers accepted in any format. Returns the registered identity, address history, and all records linked to that number across independent sources.

By Email Address

Find accounts and records tied to an email address. Returns the identity behind the address, linked accounts, and any records in which the address appears — including data breach records, registration records, and commercial databases.

By Photo (Face Recognition)

Upload a photo and the face recognition engine matches it against indexed photographs from national ID records, voter rolls, government databases, and other verified sources. Results include confidence scores. Works for portraits, ID document photos, surveillance images, and social media screenshots. Learn more about face search.

By Identity Document

Search directly by passport number, national ID, tax identification number, driver's license, or other identity documents. Supported documents cover 190+ countries — including Brazilian CPF, Argentine CUIL/DNI, French NIR, Israeli Teudat Zehut, Philippines PhilSys, Mexican CURP, and US Social Security Number.

By Address

Locate people associated with a physical address. Useful for locating current and past residents, confirming address history, or identifying parties in property disputes.

How Cross-Referencing Works

The core of Global Search is record linkage at scale. Each source is normalized to a common schema. Shared identifiers — a phone number that appears in two separate sources, an address used in a voter record and a utility account — are resolved into edges in a graph. The result is that a query against one identifier can surface records the subject never directly connected.

This is why Global Search returns results that standard search engines do not. Google indexes public web pages. We index structured records — government registries, electoral rolls, court records, utility databases, and licensed data sources that never appear on the web at all.

API Access

All search types are available through the REST API. Integrate Global Search into fraud detection pipelines, investigation management systems, or compliance workflows. Queries are priced at $0.30 per query with no monthly minimum and no setup fee. API keys are provisioned immediately on account creation.
