It works the other way as well. Putting in somone's name, city and state
can return their phone number as well as an address. I will say this is
the most blessed feature of google I have used to date.
Because of it, I was able to find my wife's birth mother (my wife is
adopted) in less than 24 hours. After locating her name and last known
city of residence I was able to google out a phone number and make a call.
They were re-united and are forming a relationship.
Just to let you know the glass can be half full or half empty. You may
see this tool as a way for rapists, murderers and thieves to find your
home. I see that like many things in life, there are positive uses as
well.
