Is all of this information available in search engines?

For many of us, Google is our first stop when we're searching for information on someone. Who hasn't googled their own name, or a friend's name? The search algorithm makes searching for things things fast and easy. This makes many of us think that we can find anything on Google. However, a Google Search is not the same as running a background report on PeopleSmart.

Google does not search all publicly available information - it only searches information from publicly accessible websites. If information is only available for a fee or with a password, then it is generally not going to be searchable by Google. While PeopleSmart does not have access to all public information either, it does have access to these for-pay and password protected records that regular search engines don't have access to.

PeopleSmart has access to databases that would otherwise require many expensive payments. For the price of a single PeopleSmart search, you get access to information that might otherwise cost multiple fees and require many searches. This type of information includes civil court documents and government records.

Google returns searches by relevance, but does not exclude irrelevant information. When you run a Google search for someone using their identifying information, it may return searches for people who share the same name, people who share the same birthday, or other identifying factors. The results may not be for the person that you’re actually trying to find.

PeopleSmart consolidates records about a single person into a unified report for you. This helps eliminate the overlap that can occur when looking for people that share the same name and/or birthdate. By consolidating reports by person, PeopleSmart can help eliminate this common source of confusion.
