How to find out information about someone for free



It might happen that you have a name, phone number an email address, username, or residential address with you. You might be wondering as to how to find information about someone for free using the details online. Well this article has you covered.



 It is possible to lookup information on anyone online using the details mentioned above. This is possible on countless sites including TotallyFreePeopleSearch.org. Some of these sites offer a number of searches using some if not all the listed options.

How do I search for information on someone online?

To be able to lookup the information you want online, you will need the services of search platforms. Let’s take a look at some of the sites that can make this a reality.

Search engines

Search engines are a great source of information. A simple search on them might just be what you need. Search engines normally allow searches with a number of the listed search options on them. You can look up with name, username, email address, phone number, physical address, social security number to name them.

If you are looking to use search engines for your search, you can try yahoo, google, Bing and Yandex (News - Alert).

To search for information on someone on search engines:

  • Go to the search engine of your choice.
  • Enter your search information and search.
  • If you are searching using name, you might need to include middle name, occupation or age to minimize the results to a manageable number.
  • If there are any results from the search engines database, it will show up.
  • From your search results, find the person you are looking to find.

Again, you can use many search terms on as many search engines as possible to increase your chances to a positive outcome.

Social media sites

Social media sites can be a very useful tool when it comes to people lookup processes online. This is supported by the overwhelming number of people who are members and use them on daily basis.

They also need that members provide personal information when they sign on and built profiles on them. These details can be accessed by other users if the owner decided to make them public.

If they did, then your possible results would include full name, username, phone number, age, date of birth, occupation, interests, photos, posts, education background and more. It will depend on what they decided to include on their profile.

They also support lookups with the mentioned details above too. Sites to consider when looking up on social media platforms would be the likes of twitter, LinkedIn (News - Alert), Facebook, Myspace an Instagram. It might happen that you don’t know which site the person is affiliated to, then you might need to look up in a number of them.

People search sites

There are sites who are specifically set up for people searches. These sites keep data on people on their databases so that the public can access it. They usually have a search box where you can conduct your search.

This category includes white pages sites (white pages, 411), public records sites (state records, background check) and people finders (Pipl, intelius).

These are some of the choices the internet has on offer on how to find out information about someone for free. To make the best of them, you will need to try as many searches as possible on as many sites as possible.

As you have probably noticed, it is not really possible to use only one website and find all the information you need about someone. No one portal or site hosts comprehensive data about people on earth – or at least none is available for free. So the trick is to use several sources like a private investigator. Login to one website, lookup and info you can find and then jump on to another one until you have sufficient details.

Lastly, also use reverse searches. This basically means use the information you obtained from the previous source to find more details about the person when searching on another site. For example, if you have the person’s physical address you can then enter it into the search box of the site you are currently logged on to see if you won’t find a phone number or any other details.
