1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:06,200
The second thing that I would like to show you is to use search engine operators to find whether a certain

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,740
phone number is indexed by search engines or not.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,330
Now, please keep in mind that people do not usually share their phone numbers online, so you might

4
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:24,980
or might not be able to get search results, but it is always a good option to perform a quick search

5
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:30,740
on Google or any other search engine to find whether a phone number is indexed or not.

6
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:38,060
So the search engine operator that you are going to use for international phone number is as follows.

7
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:45,020
First of all, you are going to add the phone number with a plus sign and the country code within two

8
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:51,350
quotation marks, and then use the Or operator to search for this number or any other number.

9
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,410
And then we are going to say instead of plus we are going to replace it with zero zero, and then the

10
00:00:57,410 --> 00:01:04,730
country code, and then the phone number or the country code without the zeros or the plus, and then

11
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:09,350
the number or only the phone number without any country code.

12
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,350
All right so let's go to google.com.

13
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,020
And then I'm going to add two quotation marks.

14
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:21,500
And within these two quotation marks I'm going to add Rishi Kabra phone number with a plus at the beginning.

15
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,200
And then the country code and then the phone number.

16
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:33,020
Then I'm going to say or and I'm going to add zero zero at the beginning instead of plus and then or

17
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:37,160
and then the phone number without any plus or zeros.

18
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:43,400
And then I'm going to say or again and then add the phone number without the country code like this.

19
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,010
And then I'm going to hit enter.

20
00:01:46,970 --> 00:01:50,870
And as you can see we weren't able to get any search result.

21
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:54,260
And this is something that you are going to run into.

22
00:01:54,290 --> 00:01:55,640
This is very normal.

23
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,400
But don't worry because you are going to learn more methods to find information about this phone number.

24
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:05,570
This only means that this phone number is not indexed by Google.

25
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:12,380
Now let me copy the second phone number, which is from Rishi Kabra, who lives in the United States,

26
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:19,700
and add two quotation marks and then add the phone number without any spaces or minuses or brackets

27
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:20,570
like this.

28
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:25,820
And then I'm going to say or and then the phone number with minuses like this.

29
00:02:25,820 --> 00:02:30,830
And then I'm going to say or again, and then I'm going to use the exact same format, but replace the

30
00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:40,130
minuses with dots and then or, and then the phone number with spaces between each block of the phone

31
00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:40,880
number.

32
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:42,800
So I'm going to hit enter.

33
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,710
And as you can see we were able to get search results.

34
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,710
And you can see that we have got many search results.

35
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:53,720
And most of the search results are from people, search engines, websites.

36
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,570
And when I click on any search result, I'll be able to find information of the person who has this

37
00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:00,410
phone number.

38
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:02,450
So let me open the first search result.

39
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:08,210
And if I scroll down a little bit, I'm going to see the people who uses this phone number.

40
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:09,980
And here we can see the name Stacy.

41
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:12,560
And we know that this phone number is not for Stacy.

42
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,740
And that's why it's important to check all other search results.

43
00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:20,090
So let me go back and open other website.

44
00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:27,020
So here we have got access denied because my IP address is not from the United States, but I'm going

45
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:28,370
to open another one.

46
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:30,500
And here we can see some different names.

47
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,480
I'm going to search for the phone number.

48
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,170
And here we can see the name Tammy Barriga.

49
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:40,730
And I believe that he is the old owner of this phone number.

50
00:03:40,730 --> 00:03:45,440
So we can come back and open another page, for example, this one.

51
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,370
And here we can see that this phone number belongs to a person called Shilpa Kabra.

52
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,310
And this is the phone number that we have searched for.

53
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,250
And by looking at the address, I can tell that this is the exact same address that I found on true

54
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,030
people search.

55
00:04:02,030 --> 00:04:07,970
When I have searched for Rishi Kabra who lives in the United States, and if I've looked at the relatives,

56
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:09,800
we can also see Rishi Kabra.

57
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:16,400
So in this lecture you have learned how you can use search engine operators to check whether a phone

58
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,790
number is indexed by search engines or not.

59
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:22,400
We have used two search operators.

60
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:29,660
The first one is for international phone numbers only and the second one is for US or Canadian phone

61
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:30,440
number.
