This month we're announcing a significant addition to the UserSearch toolkit: Forensic Web Capture, our free browser extension for evidence-grade web capture, now available on the Chrome Web Store. Alongside it, three platform upgrades are live for all users. The details below.

01 — New Release

Forensic Web Capture

Now on the Chrome Web Store • Free & unlimited • Chrome · Edge · Firefox

Forensic Web Capture preserves any website or social media page as tamper-evident digital evidence. Every capture — full-page screenshot, screen recording, or page-source snapshot — is SHA-256 hashed, sealed, and independently timestamped the moment it is taken. All processing happens on your own machine: captures never leave your device, and there is no cloud, telemetry, or analytics.

Dedicated handlers preserve Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok exactly as they appear, with comment threads expanded in a single click — and full ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini conversations can be captured as sealed evidence. Identifiers such as usernames, emails and phone numbers are extracted automatically and cross-matched between captures. Case files carry a complete chain-of-custody timeline, and court-ready PDF and Word reports are generated locally in one click.

Choose where your bookmarks are stored

When you save results as bookmarks in a case, that data has to live somewhere — and you now control exactly where. Keep bookmarks Local, stored on your own computer, or Remote, stored on our servers. In both cases the data is fully encrypted with your own personal password: we never know it and we cannot recover it, so only you can ever read your saved results.

And if you don't need to save results at all, choose Private — no data is stored anywhere. Search, review, and leave nothing behind.

OneScan arrives for Corporate search types

OneScan — the fastest way to run one input across multiple data sources — is now available for Corporate Intelligence. Run a company or a director through every corporate data source in a single search and review the merged results together, rather than querying each source in turn.
