Sherlock Search

Sherlock Search is a tool that helps users review possible face matches by linking each result to its public source pages. It supports a private, guest workflow with a one-time checkout and no recurring subscription, and it keeps search media on the user’s device within a private wallet. The service emphasizes verification over proof, organizing matches so users can inspect source context and confidence levels before drawing conclusions. It is designed for individuals who want to review online appearances without creating an account or sharing ongoing payment details while staying within a time-limited media window.

Sherlock Search describes a process that separates photo preparation, access confirmation, and the actual comparison to make each step easy to understand. Users upload one clear photo, complete a one-time Stripe checkout, and then review possible source matches by open public pages behind each result.

The tool highlights confidence bands and source context as its main cues: a visual confidence score is shown, and each result links to the public page so the user can inspect names, captions, and timelines. It stresses reviewing the source page rather than relying on scores alone, and it provides guidance to interpret matches with a focus on responsible use and verification.

Sherlock Search notes the availability of a private search experience, where media is retained only for up to 24 hours and access remains controlled via a private report. It describes potential sources such as social platforms and public pages, and it outlines a process to report findings by inspecting public context and ensuring that similarity is treated as a lead rather than proof of identity.
