How the People Finder generates search queries

The People Finder uses AI to turn a plain-language description into multiple targeted search queries. Instead of manually building Boolean strings for each platform, you describe who you're looking for and the tool does the rest.

The model chooses from many networks — including Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Medium, Substack, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, Kaggle, Wellfound, Meetup, Google Scholar, and Crunchbase — not every run uses all of them; it picks what fits (creators vs engineers vs academics vs startups vs local communities).

LinkedIn offers native people search plus X-Ray. GitHub is native user search only. YouTube, Stack Overflow, Behance, and Dribbble offer native search plus X-Ray. Most other platforms use Google/Bing X-Ray with a site: prefix (e.g. Reddit user paths, Wellfound, Scholar).

The AI outputs several keyword angles with Boolean operators so you get wider coverage than a single manual query.

Tip: use ProfileSpider to scrape matching profiles from Google, Bing, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, and other result pages, or open a profile and extract structured data in one click.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the People Finder work?

You describe the type of people you want to find in plain language — for example, "React developers in Amsterdam" or "sport influencers in London". An AI picks relevant platforms (LinkedIn, X, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Stack Overflow, Behance, Wellfound, Google Scholar, and more) and outputs Boolean-friendly queries. Native search buttons appear where the platform supports keyword search well; everywhere else you get Google/Bing X-Ray with site: filters.

Which platforms does it search?

The AI can use LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Medium, Substack, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, Kaggle, Wellfound, Meetup, Google Scholar, Crunchbase, and general web search — only where they fit your description (e.g. Dribbble/Behance for designers, Scholar for researchers, Crunchbase for companies/founders, TikTok/YouTube for creators).

Is this tool free?

Yes. The People Finder is completely free and does not require an account or sign-up.

How is this different from the LinkedIn X-Ray Search Builder?

The X-Ray Search Builder lets you manually configure structured filters for LinkedIn only. The People Finder uses AI to generate diverse queries across multiple platforms from a single natural-language description — it's faster and covers more ground.

Are there usage limits?

The tool is rate-limited to prevent abuse. You can run several searches per minute. If you hit the limit, wait a moment and try again.

Can I use ProfileSpider with the search results?

Yes. After running a search in Google, Bing, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, or other result pages, use the ProfileSpider Chrome extension to scrape profiles from the results, or open a profile and extract full contact data — name, title, company, and social links — in one click.

What kind of descriptions work best?

Be specific about the role, industry, and location. For example, "B2B SaaS founders in Berlin" or "UX designers at fintech startups in New York" will produce more targeted queries than a vague description like "business people".
