Most turn to Google first when they are searching for just about anything, but many of the other search engines can be just as valuable when you want to find out who has been calling you. When that mysterious number seems to want to remain a mystery, there are other places you can look. The search engines all look for and index information differently, and that means that one might have something that the other ones did not find or did not display for you.
You can try a general search of Yahoo! to see what comes up. This can work, and this can also leave you with thousands of results that are impossible to go through. You can try putting the number in quotes, or you can try to have a plus sign between the sections of the phone number with no spaces. You could do "555-555-1234", 555+555+1234, or even just 5555551234 to see if any of those combinations come up with something that looks like it might be a match to the number you have in your hands.
When that is not working, or is turning frustrating, you can try to use the advanced search that Yahoo! has to offer. Here you can be very precise about what you want to come up when you add your information. This can be useful when you are searching for something very specific, and that includes telephone numbers. You may get a hit that ends up telling you who owns a number without having to search much further for more information.
If you are having problems with the advanced search, you may have to think that Yahoo! simply doesn't have the information that you need. You can try the general search again, but you probably won't come up with much. Don't let that frustrate you completely in your search for the origin of a phone number, however. Just remember it was a free and good first step in your quest for information. Yahoo! is a great search engine, but like the others there is some information they just can't find (or it just may not be there to find to begin with).
