Investigator Use
Izito is a metasearch engine that aggregates results from multiple major search engines and displays them in a unified interface. Like other metasearch tools, it provides broader coverage than any single engine by combining indexed results from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other sources.
For OSINT investigators, Izito serves as a supplementary search tool in multi-engine research workflows. Its aggregated approach ensures that content indexed by some engines but not others becomes accessible within a single search, reducing the risk of missing relevant information due to a single engine's indexing gaps or ranking decisions.
The metasearch approach is particularly valuable when investigating subjects for whom web content may be sparse or inconsistently indexed — small businesses, individuals with limited web presence, or topics covered only by regional or niche websites. Each engine's different crawling patterns contribute to broader overall coverage.
For investigative efficiency, Izito reduces the number of separate searches required to achieve comprehensive coverage of a topic. Running a single query through a metasearch engine replaces multiple individual engine queries.
Limitations: Metasearch engines do not provide direct access to specialized OSINT platforms, databases, or deep web content — they aggregate surface web search engine results. For comprehensive OSINT research, Izito should be combined with specialized tools (Shodan, IntelX, social media platforms) rather than used as a sole source.
Document all Izito queries with search terms and timestamps for investigation records.
Before You Pivot
Record Context
Capture the target, search terms, and why this source is relevant before you leave the page.
Preserve Evidence
Archive volatile pages, save screenshots, and keep timestamps for anything that may change.
Corroborate
Treat one tool as a lead source. Confirm important findings with independent sources.
