Finding People with 123People - An Engine With Indexes?

(Page 3 of 4 )

All this and I haven't even shown you a search yet! Before I do that, though, I'm going to show you something you can access that is all the way over on the top right. It's a little white word that says “Index.” A search engine with an index? I wouldn't have believed it until I clicked on it. You can drill down through the index to find your person. Let me show you, in images, the drill-down I did for myself. First, there's the main level; here's a portion of it, cropped to fit:

 
Obviously I need to click on “Wel:”

 

I had to crop this image, but trust me, Wells is there. As you can see, 123people also offers indexes for individual parts of the world, at least for some searches. So what happens when I click on “Wells”?

Even with my ruthless cropping, you can tell that I'm not included on their list. (That doesn't mean that I'm not in their database somewhere, as you'll see in the second part). Spock found me, but then again I have a profile with them; I would have expected that. ZoomInfo did not find me, despite my refining by location. So I can't really hold it against 123People that they didn't find me this way.
