Let me explain you something about the people search industry in general and how it works.
How the people search industry works
You’re looking for a friend you haven’t seen for ages. So you decide to either type his name into a search engine or start with typing different keywords into Google like ‘find people’, ‘people search’ and so on.
So you found a people search engine. Maybe it was a free engine or a paid one.
If you found a free engine, then you’ll usually see ‘limited results’ and in order to see the full results, you’ll need to either pay for them or pay for a specific subscription where you can access a database for a limited period of time.
Same thing for the paid engines. The only difference is that you usually don’t have ‘limited results’ here.
The point is, you’re paying for a limited access to a database. That’s the primary business model.
What is exactly a people search software
If you think that a people search software is an offline product where you are given a database of millions of information of people, you’re wrong as you can see from the information above. No company will give out their database in a software so you can access in whenever you want.
If you ever find a software claiming to do a people search, that software will always connect to a remote online database and retrieve the information for free or require you to pay for access.
So far, I’ve been researching and haven’t found any offline people search software and I think there’s no need for such thing at the moment when you have some excellent online resources.
