While many websites claim to offer a free people or
company search, very few keep their promises. There's usually a fee attached
somewhere along the way. While Searchbug.com does have some paid features, the
site also has a plethora of free information available. Whether searching for a
person or a company’s address and phone number, Searchbug.com can be a useful
tool.
First visit Searchbug.com.
On the homepage you can put in a person’s name to search for
their contact information. If you know the city and/or state they live in, you
can enter that on the home page as well. If the site finds a listing it will
give you their address and phone number (if their phone number is unlisted).
You can find the same information on companies. On the home
page, switch your search criteria over to company. You’ll get the same
information along with any reviews on the companies.
There’s an additional feature you can use under the company
tab. If you’re looking for a type of company in a certain city or state, you
can search for that instead of a specific business name. For example, you can
search for Italian Restaurants in Phoenix,
Arizona and you’ll get a listing.
From the Searchbug homepage you can also find many other
options. You can look up area codes, zip codes, find out if a number is a cell
or a landline, do a reverse phone number or reverse address lookup, as well as
verify a mailing address.
While there are many paid options on the site, there are too
many useful free options available to pass this one up. Everything I’ve
mentioned is part of the free service offered at Searchbug.com. It’s a great
resource for a number of different searches.
