Finding Personal Information with Unique Searching

Identity Finder will not enable Unique Searching until you provide specific personal information.  You can add information using the Startup Wizard or the "Add/Remove Information" button on the "What to Search for" ribbon.  If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can choose to add specific, unique information to the search.

 

 

If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can also add personal information to the Include List by clicking the "Add/Remove Information" button on the "What to Search For" ribbon.  The "Search with Unique Personal Information You Include" group on the "What to Search For" ribbon allows you to enable and disable Unique Searching for each Identity Type.  If you have not provided any personal information for an Identity Match Type, that specific type's button will be disabled on the ribbon.   After you click OK, the ribbon button for the identity type(s) you included will be highlighted orange.  When these button(s) are highlighted, Identity Finder will search for that identity type.  If you do not want Identity Finder to search for that identity type for a specific search, but wish to leave the information in your Unique Identity Include List, then click the button to remove the orange highlight.

 

 

Note if you Enabling Worldwide Searching then you can also add unique identities for additional identity match types and you might see additional buttons for Australia Tax File Numbers, Canada Social Insurance Numbers, United Kingdom National Insurance Numbers, and United Kingdom National Health Service Numbers.  The Startup Wizard will not let you add personal information for unique searching, but you can add personal information to the Include List by clicking the "Settings" button on the Main ribbon and clicking the Include Unique Identities tab or by clicking the "Add/Remove Information" button on the "What to Search For" ribbon.
