True New Zealand People Search Services

On any true search engine website, in the search field, enter the names of people sought in double quotation marks to lessen the number of search returns and focus exactly on someone with the name entered. For example, copy/paste this into the search field and search: "Russell Crowe".

To help eliminate records of people by that name, append New Zealand to the name in quotes to see only people by that name in or from NZ.

Using this technique on peoplesearches.nz for the most famous New Zealander, (Russell Crowe) returns nothing. Searches of other common names from that land also return nothing. The 'registry' appears to have only 19 entries. Searches in these 'categories' appear to have the same result.

When using search-engine data search services, try different ones as they don't all crawl the same websites or all of the websites in the world. Some content is bound to be different, especially in localized New Zealand databases that only include data about people from there.

Also note that in viewing people-search results, the first listings of services at the top of the page are 100% paid ads. More than likely visiting any of those sites will lead to paid search. After the last paid ad in the display, the first listing will be of the first website than ranks highest for people search New Zealand. Here again, even if the title and description of the listing herald 'free' no-charge services, the amount and quality of search may be limited or disappointing, and only leading to paid search.

Linkedin is a site that is great for meeting business professionals in your field or similar ones to connect with. To get the most out of it you should make yourself a profile. It is made to network so if you don't take advantage of the social aspect you are just left with a search bar. However if you have found that networks are just useless displays then you can locate the search for jobs. You can plug in your city or the company that you want to work in or for and go from there. From here you can see what is going on Linkedin in terms of jobs which is why most people frequent the site in the first place. You will see that Linkedin offers a plethora of wealth when it comes to this. One thing that I found when I had a Linkedin account is that it was easy to look up the people that I went to school with. I went to a small university and sometimes I wanted to see if I could reconnect with people on a business level. I never really found that I made connections outside of people that I was friends with but you can still ask others questions. Out of professional courtesy a lot of them will answer especially given your shared history. These answers should be taken with a grain of salt but can help if you're in an immediate pinch with a business situation.

The name of the country "New Zealand" originated from 'Nova Zeelandia' with Dutch cartographers, after the Dutch province of "Zeeland". James Cook, the British explorer, anglicized it to New Zealand.
