An entry in John Battelle’s Search Blog mentions a white pages or people search service that is uncluttered, easy to use, is comprehensive, and also employees some Ajax techniques to improve the user interface. Its name is Pipl, http://www.pipl.com. I used it to find the address and phone number of an acquaintance in Fredericksburg who was difficult to locate using other services.
Here is what they say about themselves
Pipl’s query-engine helps you find deep web pages that cannot be found on regular search engines.
Unlike a typical search-engine, Pipl is designed to retrieve information in real-time from the deep web, our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and extract facts, contact details and other relevant information from personal profiles, member directories, scientific publications, court records and numerous other deep-web sources.
Pipl is not just about finding more results; we are using advanced language-analysis and ranking algorithms to bring you the most relevant bits of information about a person in a single, easy-to-read results page.”
