Advanced Search Tactics for Finding Emails

10. How to Use Boolean Search Operators to Find Emails

Sometimes it really is that easy. Try these basic queries first:

• [name] + email (or) email address
• [name] + contact (or) contact information/contact info (or) contact me

If that doesn’t work, it’s time to get creative with Google search operators. Try running a search of their company website, like so:

• site:companywebsite.com + [name] + email
• site:companywebsite.com + [name] + contact

11. Advanced Twitter Search For Finding Emails

People get asked for their email on social media all the time. You can use Twitter’s advanced search to find the last time your contact responded to such a request:

1. Search for the terms (at) (dot) in “All these words” under the ‘Words” section
2. Enter their Twitter handle in “From these accounts” under the “People” section

Pro tip: Don’t waste your time searching for the word “email” or “gmail.” You’ll just end up combing through a long list of tweets on the topic of email, and not their actual email address. Find emails in seconds using Advanced Twitter Search.
