Find new data linked to the advertisements
The Investigate widgets function by collecting common information within the advertisements and make it easily searchable via a quick-link. The widgets are generated after a query is executed and the data from that search becomes available.
Since the widgets require quite a lot of computational power to search through hundreds of thousands of ads to find the most common identifiers, they will only generate data if the total number of results are under a certain limit - this is to avoid timeout errors.
Clicking one of these links will generate a new query on the information in the link.
Use cases
It is possible that a person can create multiple different online profiles in order to sell objects. This helps them hide their true identity.
By using the quick links within the widgets, it makes it easier to identify common unique indicators, such as a common phone number, profile name or email address.
