This document describes a search technique for finding lists and associations related to target terms. The search has 3 parts: 1) The target terms, 2) Terms to find lists and directories of people, and 3) Contact details like email and phone. This search targets public lists of people who may have attended conferences related to the target terms, in order to identify potential connections and competitors. The search returns files like Excel sheets that often contain lists of contacts.
