OSINT has been prominent over decades, under one name or the other. With the advent of instant communication and rapid knowledge exchange, much actionable and informative knowledge can now be accessed from unclassified, public sources. OSINT can help to collect data from the web and use it according to a model’s requirements and needs. A web search tool has been proposed here to look for similar advantages, explaining the tool’s functionalities and development strategy, which aims to minimize target search time and use minimum input data for the same.
