If you’re a regular Spokeo user, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve added some new bells and whistles to help you with your search needs — additional search filters to narrow down results!
Users can now filter with:
- First Name
- Middle Initial / Name
- Last Name
- Age Range
- Street, City, State
- Phone
- Relative’s First and/or Last Name
