|
When will I receive the results?
Please review the "Estimated
Delivery Time" for each search. Results are sent to
you as soon as they become available and the "turn around" time
is a estimate based on search times
from the past. Your search request status is always displayed in your account.
Click here to login to your
account. When your results become available, they are emailed
and the date and time of delivery is noted in your Account.
Results are sent to the payment email address and any other
email that you have specified in your Account. You can also
choose to have the results resent by posting a message in your Account.
We understand your time is valuable.
That's why we fully support the methods your ISP uses to block
unwanted emails from your account. However, we are concerned
that some SPAM filters may start blocking emails through Abika from
your inbox. This means you might miss out receiving your
results, requests for more information or confirmations. To be
sure all our emails keep reaching you, please add "
" to your
address book provided by your email provider. You may also need
to UNCHECK the box marked Block
HTML Graphics in email messages from being downloaded. This will
help you receive your results without any delays. If you need
additional help then please contact your email service provider
and they can guide you through the steps. |
| |
How can I get
search results immediately?
Please choose the
Rush Delivery Option when
placing the search request for delivery of results within 8 to
28 hours. Your rush delivery request selects researchers / search guides
who could provide rush service. |
| |
|
| |
What can cause
delays?
Results get delayed if you submit incorrect, incomplete or
conflicting information with the search request. Additional
comments or special instructions can only be considered if they
are posted as a message within
your Abika.com account.
Availability of researchers / search guides who help with specific searches varies. |
| |
Where is the fee list?

How does the search process work?
Abika enables an interactive search engine service. Abika helps
people search what they seek by connecting people who seek
results to people who either know the results or can
help you search the results. You select the search topic and get
help from real people. You can also help people by
searching what others seek. Abika is about sharing what you know
and what you want to search. So join in and start sharing.
Search requests are screened and there are fees
for the service of processing or deducing the searches. Many
resources and search venues could have access fees and the
searches are conducted by researchers / search guides, who need to be paid for
the work involved. Any deduced results are estimated from your
input and publicly available information. Deduced results are protected by copyright. Searching can help estimate what results could be available at any time depending on your search
criteria.
How
does Abika compare with conventional Search Engines?
For
most conventional search engines like Google, Yahoo, Alta Vista,
Ask
and MSN Search the searches are conducted automatically
by a computer program (algorithm) that searches websites and
internet data, while in the Abika model the searches are
conducted with the help of people and by people. Conventional search
engines crawl the web and create an index of web pages and data
that is on computers while Abika.com creates an index of people
who are skilled researchers / search guides. Generally
conventional search engines are free to search and
the costs are borne by advertisers who pay to advertise on the
search engine. At Abika's interactive search engine the costs are borne by the searchers in the form of
fees for the service of searching. Searching can help estimate
what results could be available at any time depending on
your search criteria.
Who provides search services
through
the Abika Search Engine?
Click here to view the dynamic list of some of the
researchers / search guides. These are independent researchers
/ search guides. Abika notifies researchers / search guides to
only consider the search request if they can provide help,
research and guidance in compliance with Federal, State or Local
Laws. Compliance is monitored. |
|
What is the best search to find someone
or something? |
|
Depending on many
factors such as what information you have, how active an
individual
is, what is published about something, there may be no one magic search to find locate
someone or something. Sometimes you may have to try a few
searches and build up a profile. This applies to all searches. |
