ZabaSearch

Zabasearch is a controversial search engine that ONLY returns results from what is already publicly accessible on the web. Zabasearch is great for finding names, addresses, and phone numbers (and sometimes birth dates) quickly and easily. It is a bit creepy to find yourself listed with all known addresses, past and present. However, I have been less frustrated trying to find an address or phone number that I've misplaced.
