WhoSearch

WHOSEARCH / TRUST CENTER

Methodology

WhoSearch retrieves public web pages, compares visible identity anchors, and keeps uncertainty attached to the evidence.

01

Query planning

Searches combine the user input with optional public context. The system does not infer hidden attributes or use leaked credentials.

02

Candidate separation

Namesakes and reused handles remain separate unless multiple public anchors support the same identity.

03

Source handling

Each result keeps its original URL, visible excerpt, source domain, and check time. A missing page is not replaced with an invented fact.

04

Uncertainty and corrections

Conflicts, missing clues, and weak matches remain visible. Users can report a source or request correction and removal through support.

How a full report is built

Evidence rules

WhoSearch does not infer hidden attributes. Shared names or handles never prove identity. Context-supported means a page repeats an additional clue supplied in the search; it is not a biometric or legal identity confirmation.

  1. 01

    Plan three distinct retrieval passes: identity, profiles, and public mentions.

  2. 02

    Retrieve public pages and keep the original URL, excerpt, domain, and visible date.

  3. 03

    Normalize URLs and merge duplicate pages without merging people.

  4. 04

    Compare only the clues the user supplied: name, username, location, organization, or role.

  5. 05

    Separate context-supported groups from query-only and weak leads.

  6. 06

    Show uncertainty, source links, and dates so the user can make the final judgment.

Use old usernames, email history, saved logins, and public sources to build an account inventory.
