OneSearch - Deepsearch Anyone
OneSearch is a web-based people research tool that builds a single sourced brief on a named individual using only publicly indexed web pages — company sites, GitHub, news coverage, podcasts, and public social profiles. A user types a name, reviews candidate cards showing role, city, and a public snippet to confirm the correct person, and then reads one page summarizing public work history, talks, writing, and profiles, with each claim linked back to its original URL. Follow-up questions are answered against the same brief and its underlying sources rather than triggering a new search, so a session stays attached to the person already confirmed. The homepage frames the workflow as three steps — confirm, brief, ask — and positions the product around the short window of research that happens just before a conversation. The vendor emphasizes privacy and provenance: lookups are described as private, the subject is never notified, only indexed public pages are used, and the output is explicitly stated not to be a background check and not to be built from purchased people files. If the public record is thin, the brief stays thin rather than filling gaps with guesses. OneSearch is presented as a hosted product with login and a pricing page, though the reviewed homepage content does not disclose specific pricing tiers or plan details.

Problem solved
Researching a person before a meeting typically means opening many tabs, skimming conflicting profiles, and manually tracking where each claim came from. OneSearch compresses that work into a single sourced brief on a confirmed individual and keeps follow-up questions tied to that same set of public sources.
Use cases
- Preparing a sourced briefing on a prospect before a sales call
- Researching a candidate's public professional footprint before an interview
- Checking a speaker, panelist, or guest before an event or podcast
- Reviewing a company's leadership from public pages for light due diligence
- Researching potential collaborators, advisors, or co-founders
- Backgrounding an interviewee from public writing, talks, and profiles
- Answering follow-up questions about a previously confirmed person without starting a new search
Audience
- Business Users
- Enterprise
- Startups
- Product Managers
- Researchers
Pros
- Every claim in the brief links back to an original public URL
- Confirm-the-person step reduces mismatches on common names
- Follow-up questions stay attached to the confirmed brief's sources
- Subject is not notified, and lookups are described as private
- Leaves the page thin rather than inventing details when public data is scarce
Cons
- Limited to what is already public, so obscure people may return thin results
- Explicitly not a background check, so it is unsuitable for compliance or screening
- Pricing and plan details are not disclosed on the reviewed homepage content
- No public API, CLI, or self-hosted option was evident from the available material
- Requires user disambiguation when multiple people share a name
