  • Enter a partial first name or leave the first name blank to expand your search
  • If the last name is common, include the full first name or city, state to narrow your results.
  • Make sure city name is spelled correctly or enter zip code.
  • Use “include surrounding area” to broaden your search to include cities around the city/zip you entered.

  • If the individual you are looking for is not found or has an unlisted or unpublished number, try searching other public records databases with Intelius.

Reverse Address Search

Search by address, city, and state to find name and phone number of the individual associated with that address. Search Tip:

Business Name or Category

Enter the Business Name or Category you're looking for. Business Name is for a specific name like Guido's Pizza or Sleepwell Hotels. Category examples include Florists, Restaurants, Sushi, Roses, etc. You do not need to enter the whole name, we will attempt to find names or categories that match what you type. If no matches are found, we will automatically try different spellings and partial words to find a match.

You can enter a City, State or ZIP Code in the location box. If you enter just a city, you may be asked to clarify which city you mean. Then click the Search button. 
 

Location Help

You can enter a State, Cityand State and/or ZIP Code. If you enter a city, but no state you may be asked to clarify which city you mean since many names appear in more than one state. Please enter the 2-letter "state abbreviation".

You can enter the 5-digit ZIP Code for your location. These are the codes defined by the U.S. Postal Service. If you enter a City and State and a ZIP Code, and the two do not match, your search will be based on the ZIP Code you entered. 

Tip! If you've already done a search at Switchboard, the last location you entered will automatically be filled in the Location box for you.

Results Page Help

Types of Results pages

Once you click the Search button, you will see your results page. The results page will show listings in either a matching category (such as "automobile repair", "plumbers", or "locksmiths) or results whose name matches some or all of your search keywords. Some of the options to refine your results are different between these two types of results.
 

Refine Your Results

You typically have two ways to refine your results if your original search was not quite on target.
 

Narrow Search

This lets you fine-tune your results within a category. The menu contains a list of sub-categories contained within your larger category. Click on the sub-category you want to narrow down your results. 
 

Related Searches

This lets you adjust your search to focus on a different category. The menu contains a list of categories similar to your current category. Select the new category to see the applicable listings. 
 

Sort Your Results

Results can be sorted using the links in the top right section of the blue box. Options for sorting include: 
 

A-Z - See listings sorted in alphabetical order by name. 

By Distance - See listings sorted according to how far they are from the location you entered. 

By Advertisers - This is the default sorting for any searches you do. If you choose another sort method, click this link to return to the original sorting of your results. 
 

See Specific Listings by Letter

To view listings from a certain letter of the alphabet, click the letter you would like to view.

Tip! - The # symbol is for all listings that start with a number or a symbol.

Other Tips

Too Many Results?

If your search produces too many results, try any of the following: 
 

  • Use the search form near the top of the results page to modify your search results, and enter more information. If you entered just one keyword in the main search field, try adding another keyword or phrase. Add more address information if possible.
  • If you know the street address, use the Distance Search form and include the street address.

No Results?

If your search produced no results, use the search form near the bottom of the page to broaden your search using any of these tips: 
 

  • If you entered multiple words for a business' name, try removing a word, or in general enter less of the business name (Joe's Auto instead of Joe's Auto Service).
  • If you have entered a business name, try a variation on the name, such as the acronym for the business (FBI) or its full name (Federal Bureau of Investigation). If a business is listed by an abbreviation, you must search for it that way.
  • Check the spelling of the business name. If you are unsure, try using just part of the name.
  • Choose a more general category - Sporting Goods rather than Soccer Equipment.
  • Omit the city and ZIPCode.
  • Omit the street on a distance search.
  • If all else fails, try the search using our Web Search.  Once you've found the correct spelling and location of the business, use Americans.com and do your search again.
