USA People Search Reviewer's Comments

With a the strong  flexible search system and all-inclusive results, “TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award” winner, USA People Search, gives you all you need in a people search service. USA People Search offers a variety of other services, including background checks, criminal checks and other public records searches. But the place where it really shines is in people search.

USA People Search has one of the easiest interfaces we reviewed. Instead of filling in boxes on a search page, you simply type in anything you know whether that be full or partial name, age, date of birth, place of residence or any other pertinent information, and USA People Search will scour its database for possible matches. Of course, the people search results are more important than the search criteria, and USA People Search performs admirably in that category as well. Only a few small things kept USA People Search from ranking higher, like an inability to do reverse phone searches and search by social security number.

Features Set:  

USA People Search has a lot of useful options. Besides the standard prices for a single search, they also offer a 24-hour pass and a 30-day pass for the site, which is useful if you need to do multiple searches. In fact, the USA People Search 24-hour pass is one of the cheapest of all the people search companies we reviewed.

USA People Search also has the added benefit of letting you preview the information before you buy. You don’t pay unless you feel USA People Search has the person you are looking for. After you place the known information about the person you are looking for, USA People Search will display a list of possible matches. It tells you what kind of information is available for each entry that matches your search.

Possible Report Information:  

USA People Search offers complete people search reports. If the information is available, the reports will include the name of the subject along with possible aliases, current and previous addresses, phone number, age, date of birth and possible relatives. The reports are one of USA People Search’s greatest strengths, which is good because the results of a search are the most important part of the service.

Search By Criteria:  

This is where USA People Search struggles. If the service performed better in this category, it might have carried USA People Search even higher in the rankings. While we praise USA People Search for the flexible search system, you are still unable to do reverse address and reverse phone searches. You also cannot search by social security number or email address. But the most important search criteria, name, age, date of birth, city of residence, are still available.

Help/Support:  

While the people search at USA People Search is great, the tech support is only average. USA People Search has a good FAQ for answering common questions and an email support system for more difficult questions.

Summary:  

USA People Search deserves to be in our top three because it offers a simple search interface and a comprehensive people search.
