    Just came across this whilst doing a google search and I thought it would be of use as it's a web search connected to google which searches people on the net and can also search deeper than just websites i.e. PDFs databases and word documents on the net.

    Welcome to the Deep Web - Pipl - People Search

    It seems to be able to pick stuff up from good family history sites and what is nice is that it gives you people which is better than other things that a surname could be if you know what I mean :D

    It might scare a few of you too.

    Welcome to the Deep Web



    There are various reasons why you might need to search for people, you may need to find a lost relative, an old flame, a classmate or a business contact - but if you are using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo to search for people, you have probably realized by now that it might work in some cases but in most cases it won't.

    How come the best search engines fail so miserably when it comes to people search? The answer lies in a little known but very important part of the web called "the deep web".

    Also known as "invisible web", the term "deep web" refers to a vast repository of underlying content, such as documents in online databases that general-purpose web crawlers cannot reach. The deep web content is estimated at 500 times that of the surface web, yet has remained mostly untapped due to the limitations of traditional search engines.

    Since most personal profiles, public records and other people-related documents are stored in databases and not on static web pages, most of the higher-quality information about people is simply "invisible" to a regular search engine. Pipl's query-engine helps you find deep web pages that cannot be found on regular search engines.

    Unlike a typical search-engine, Pipl is designed to retrieve information from the deep web, our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and extract facts, contact details and other relevant information from personal profiles, member directories, scientific publications, court records and numerous other deep-web sources.

    Pipl is not just about finding more results; we are using advanced language-analysis and ranking algorithms to bring you the most relevant bits of information about a person in a single, easy-to-read results page.

          You are right, it's quite frightening! I'm glad I'm not on facebook or in the news!

                Has anyone tried putting their own name in yet? I'm there on the 192.com electoral roll and on a distant relative's message board.

                  Well I found myself on facebook. Off to look for other people now.

                  Thanks Peppie - it's terrifying but hopefully will help with my searches.

                              There's nothing known about me. I like being anonymous!

                              EDIT: tried a second time with a slightly different spelling and got some electoral roll and other hits. Tried a third time and they weren't there. I would have needed a subscription to 192.com to see them.
