Investigator Use
MyAllSearch is a web search aggregation and directory tool that provides access to multiple specialized search engines, directories, and databases through a unified interface. It organizes access to specialized search resources across different content categories including web search, images, news, and reference databases.
For OSINT investigators, MyAllSearch serves as a navigation aid to specialized search resources. Rather than remembering individual URLs for dozens of niche search engines and databases, the categorized interface provides access points to specialized resources in a single hub.
The aggregation approach is useful when an investigator knows that relevant information may exist in a specialized source (a specific industry database, a regional news aggregator, or a specialized people search engine) but needs a quick way to access those resources without maintaining a personal bookmark library.
For investigators who are newer to OSINT workflows, search aggregation tools like MyAllSearch provide discovery of search resources they may not be aware of — exposing specialized databases and engines relevant to specific investigation types.
Limitations: Search aggregation directories are subject to link rot as referenced services move or close, and their coverage may not keep pace with new OSINT resources. The tools listed may not be the most current or capable available for their respective functions.
Use MyAllSearch as a resource discovery tool and complement it with purpose-built OSINT frameworks and direct access to specialized platforms rather than relying on it as a primary investigation interface.

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.
