By Alessio Kantrowitz


Are you look for private information up about someone? Secure people search tools provide background information, phone numbers, addresses, maps, and more. But, here's why not all people search tools and not equal.

Public domain data is a often made available to people via the internet. People can reference reverse phone lookup, real estate property data, address data, criminal records and more. Finding one source of this data can be a challenge.

The information business is big business topping 2 billion dollar U.S. in revenue. With private and public companies trading and sharing information who knows where your information may end up. Who can you trust for reliable information?

Here's How People Search Engine Works:

* You go to the home page. Type in your name or someone else's name. It sends a query the database and returns a reply. You can narrow down your search more quickly if you know the first and last name and state of the person you're looking for.

* Your search results will pop up next, with the person's name, address,birth date, and phone number if found. You have the option to do a background check (this takes $$$) or do a specialized People Search on that particular name, which actually doesen't do anything but scoop up all the names that relate to your query.

* Even a simple email address maybe enough to find person online. I fthe belong to a social network like facebook or myspace you may be able to track them down. Sometimes simply typing the email address in Google can retrieve good results.

* Click on any address that comes up in your search results. You'll be taken to a page that gives you the zip code, a Mapquest overlay map of the area, current weather and a five day forecast from the Weather Channel.
