Person Search

Person Search provides a targeted approach to locating and individual. The Endato Person Search is a dynamic tool that allows users to look for data in a variety of combinations.

📘

Pro Tip:

The more information provided when running a person search, the more refined the search will be. For example, running First/Last Name will return thousands of results depending on how common the name is. Running First/Last/City/State will limit the results significantly

Person Search can be used in a variety of ways. If you are searching for a specific individual you can use combinations such as:

  • SSN
  • First/Last/Address
  • First/Last/City/State
  • First/Last/DOB

You can also search on specific attributes to see individuals we show associated with that attribute:

  • Phone
  • Email
  • Address

Please Note:

There are 4 different search types for the Person Search. These are all defined by the "galaxy-search-type" .

  • Person - This search type should be used for more detailed information pertaining to the subjects. This is mainly used for "logged in or paying" users.
  • Teaser - This search type is used to "entice/tease" customers with data, but not too much data. This is mainly used for what we refer to as "logged out" users. Most of the data elements in a teaser search are masked and/or limited by the quantity returned. This should be used as your initial search before drilling down to the specific user information.
  • ReversePhonePersonTeaser - This search type is used to "entice/tease" customers with data, but not too much data. This is mainly used for what we refer to as "logged out" users. Most of the data elements in a teaser search are masked and/or limited by the quantity returned. This should be used as your initial search before drilling down to the specific user information.
  • ReversePhonePerson - This search type should be used for more detailed information pertaining to the subjects. This is mainly used for "logged in or paying" users.
