Can a person know that you are searching for them if you use the white pages and google them using your computer?

Answer 1

The person you're searching for gets no explicit notification that someone has used a search-engine to look for them on-line.

However, the person you're searching for may find out that someone searched, may find out how the search was made, and could even find out how made the search, depending on what you find:

Suppose you find the person's personal web site, and suppose you click on the search engine's result to open that web site. This web site may now have logged that a visitor viewed the site, which page was opened, when, by whom (based on the IP address), and may show the search phrase used in your search.

Your identity is not easily uncovered from the IP address, but the IP address leaves easily accessible clues. Clues include the internet service provider and some indication of the source area (country, area or city).

Answer 2

In general, using the White Pages or Google to search for someone does not notify the person being searched for. These are public directories that allow individuals to look up contact information or other details about people. However, if the person being searched for has privacy settings enabled or has specifically requested their information not be shared, they may not appear in these searches. It's always a good idea to respect people's privacy and use information responsibly.

Answer 3

Well, honey, if you're using the White Pages and Google to track someone down, chances are they won't have a clue unless you're leaving a digital breadcrumb trail. So, unless you're planning a surprise party or stalking an ex, you should be in the clear. Just remember, curiosity killed the cat, so proceed with caution.
