Zabasearch (zabasearch.com), a free site that often provides amazing results, helps people track each other down.

Twenty-six percent of people who use the website are consumers, 23 percent are businesses, 20 percent government agencies/court/law enforcement, 14 percent universities/students, three percent law firms/attorneys, and two percent media/news agencies. 

Zabasearch displays what is available in the public domain after the user types in the person’s name on the website.

The search engine also offers a $20 program for people to get an extensive background check on any person.

The founders of Zabsearch call themselves “data democratization.”

If you type in your own name into the search engine’s bar it will show every address you ever lived at and some of the things you might have written online.
