# Person Search ## **Step 1: Access the Dashboard** When you first log in, you'll see the OSINT360 welcome screen with four quick-launch investigation tiles.

## **Step 2: Select Investigation Type** Open the **Investigation Types** panel from the right sidebar (`≡` icon). * Set **Category** → `Person` * Open the **Available Types** dropdown * Select **`Person Search (discovery_person)`** ## **Step 3: Available Person Investigation Types:** **Available Person Investigation Types:** | Type | Internal Key | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | Person Search | `discovery_person` | | Mobile Number Search | `discovery_mobile` | | Behavior Analysis | `Nexvision_Behavior_Analysis` | | Court Cases | `Nexvision_Court_Cases` | | Investment Information | `Nexvision_Investment_Info` | | Telecommunications Provider | `Nexvision_Telecommunications_Provider` | ## **Step 4: Enter Your Target** After selecting **Person Search**, the search bar at the bottom will update to show the active investigation mode.

You'll see the prompt tag: ``` Investigate discovery_person target: [Enter target (e.g., Jane Smith, example.com)...] ``` **Enter your subject's name** in the input field. Examples: * `John Anderson` * `Maria Chen` * `Robert Williams` 💡 **Tip:** For best results, use the person's full legal name or use location. Nicknames or aliases may return fewer results. ## **Step 5: Initiate Search** Click the **Send** button (blue arrow `→`) or press `Enter` to submit your query. The platform will display your query as a chat message: ``` Investigate discovery_person target: John Anderson ```

The AI agent will begin processing immediately, showing a **"Getting Results..."** loading indicator. ## **Step 6: Monitor Search Progress** OSINT360 uses an asynchronous search system. Once initiated, you'll see the **Discovery Search Started** confirmation card:

The card displays: | Field | Example Value | | ------------- | -------------------------------- | | **Query** | `John Anderson` | | **Type** | `Person` | | **Search ID** | `a3f92b1c` *(unique per search)* | ⏳ The system is now searching the **Discovery database** and **open web sources**. This typically takes **10–30 seconds**. Click **"Check Results"** button when it appears to retrieve the latest data. ## **Step 7: Review Results** Once results are ready, you'll see a structured results panel:

Result Overview The summary banner shows: * ✅ Total records matched (e.g., **87 records matched**) * 🌍 **Quick Breakdown** — geographic distribution of matches * Confidence score per record (**Good / Moderate / Low**) Sample Mockup Results ``` 📋 Detailed Results — John Anderson (50 shown) Person (50) 1.

You can refine by appending details to your search query: | Filter Type | Example Query | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | | 🌍 **Country** | `John Anderson in USA` | | 📞 **Phone** | `John Anderson phone +1-555-0134` | | 🌐 **Nationality** | `John Anderson nationality Canadian` | | 📅 **Birth Year** | `John Anderson born 1985` | **Example refined queries:** ``` John Anderson in USA John Anderson nationality British John Anderson in Canada born 1990 ``` Quick Breakdown Filters The **Quick Breakdown** widget shows geographic distribution. Click any tag to instantly filter results: ``` Quick Breakdown (click to filter): 🌐 3 in US 🌐 2 in CA 🌐 1 in AU 🌐 1 in UK 📱 +1 5550134 ``` ## **Step 9: Analyze Open Web Intelligence** OSINT360 also aggregates **open web data** alongside database results. This appears as a separate section titled **"Open Web Intelligence"**:

This section provides: * 📖 **Biography & Background** — Public biographical information * 🏢 **Professional History** — Known companies and roles * 🔗 **Social Connections** — Publicly documented relationships * 📰 **News & Media Mentions** — Press coverage and articles * 💰 **Business Interests** — Investments, companies founded ⏱️ Open web data may take a few extra seconds to compile. If you see **"Getting more open web data... Check again in a few seconds"**, simply wait and re-check. ## **Step 10: Export Your Repor**t Once you've gathered the intelligence you need, export a full PDF report: 1. Click the **"Export PDF"** button in the top-right corner 2. A formatted report will be generated with all findings 3. The PDF includes: search metadata, all matched records, confidence scores, and open web intelligence 💡 **Pro Tip:** The chat history auto-saves. Use the **Chat History** sidebar to revisit previous investigations at any time. ## **Step 11: Run Additional Modules** After completing a person search, OSINT360 surfaces a **"What's Next?"** panel suggesting follow-up investigation modules tailored to your subject.

The platform will prompt: > 🎯 *"I can also run these modules for **\[Subject Name]**:* Available Follow-Up Modules | Module | What It Finds | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | ⚖️ **Court Cases & Legal Records** | Civil, criminal, and public court filings | | 💰 **Investment & Financial Records** | Business investments, shareholdings, filings | | 💼 **LinkedIn** | Professional profile, work history, connections | | 🐦 **Twitter / X** | Posts, followers, engagement, account history | | 📸 **Instagram** | Public posts, tagged locations, follower data | | ▶️ **YouTube** | Channels, videos, comments, activity | | 🛡️ **Sanctions Screening** | OFAC, UN, EU, Interpol watchlist checks | | 🧠 **Behavior Analysis** | Pattern analysis, risk profiling, activity trends | **How to Launch a Module** 1. Click any module button in the **"What's Next?"** panel 2. OSINT360 automatically runs that investigation against the same target 3. Results appear as a new message in the same chat thread 4. Each module costs approximately **\~1 credit** 💡 **Tip:** Start with **Sanctions Screening** for compliance-sensitive investigations, or **Court Cases** for due diligence workflows. Use **Behavior Analysis** last for a holistic risk summary. 🔄 Click **"Dismiss"** to close the panel without running additional modules. You can always re-run modules later by typing them directly in the chat (e.g., `run LinkedIn for John Anderson`). Understanding Result Scores Each result record has a **confidence score** indicating how closely it matches your query: | Score Label | Range | Meaning | | --------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | 🟢 **Good** | 80–100% | High confidence match — strong identifier overlap | | 🟡 **Moderate** | 60–79% | Partial match — name match, fewer supporting identifiers | | 🔴 **Low** | Below 60% | Weak match — may share name only | **Quick Breakdown Filters** The Quick Breakdown bar provides instant geographic and phone-number filters: ``` 🌐 3 in US → Filter to USA results only 🌐 2 in CA → Filter to Canada results only 🌐 1 in AU → Filter to Australia results only 📱 +1 5550199 → Filter by phone prefix ``` Clicking any chip **instantly filters** the displayed result list without running a new search.
