Pipl Search puts real identity intelligence in your pocket. Built for fraud operations, trust and safety, compliance, financial crime, and OSINT investigators, the app connects to your Pipl Search Insights account so you can resolve identity questions wherever work takes you. Start with a single identifier - an email address, phone number, name, username, social profile URL, or US street address - and Pipl Search returns a resolved person profile: names, contact details, addresses, career history, social profiles, and the relationships between them. Every attribute carries match confidence and source provenance, so your evidence holds up under scrutiny. WHY PIPL SEARCH - Depth newer datasets can't replicate: 20+ years of identity data, collected before the era of AI-generated fakes. - Global scale: 5 billion resolved identities, connected from 1 trillion identity signals and refreshed with 2 billion updates every day. - Raw identity evidence, not a verdict: Search returns attributes and relationships - your team keeps the decision logic. - Source-backed and defensible: every attribute traces to its underlying sources, so conclusions stand up in escalation, appeal, and audit review. - Fast: most searches resolve in about a second. BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS - Investigations and OSINT: expand a single data point into a complete, source-documented profile and trace connections between accounts. - Fraud and identity verification: check whether an email, phone, and name cohere into one real identity before you approve. - Trust and safety and compliance: build explainable identity evidence for enforcement decisions, appeals, and audits. - Enrichment and recruiting: turn a profile URL or partial record into reachable, current contact information. POWERED BY ELEPHANT Pipl Search is powered by Elephant, Pipl's specialist large risk model - purpose-built for identity resolution, not a general-purpose LLM. Elephant connects scattered records from more than 5 billion identities into single, confident profiles. In Search, you get the identity evidence; your systems and your team keep the decision logic. When Pipl is confident, you get one definite match; otherwise, ranked possible matches you can expand with a tap. A SEARCH INSIGHTS ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED Pipl Search is for verified business customers.
