How do the main search and example differ?
The main workspace offers prepaid, consented FaceCheck searches. The example report is fictional, and the example API uses a restricted test index. Provider availability and configuration still affect searches.
What does a main-workspace search cost?
Search packs are $9 USD for one search, $29 for five searches and $49 for ten searches. The main workspace requires a search credit before submitting an image. Review the current pack and total in checkout before paying. The separate example is not a paid search or evidence of live coverage.
Do I need credits for the API test?
FaceCheck documents test mode as not deducting search credits. Facehunch keeps that mode enabled server-side. Provider availability, account validity and rate limits can still affect a request.
Does a high score prove identity?
No. A similarity score is the provider’s comparison, not a verified name or probability of identity. A close resemblance can still be wrong.
Can Facehunch search private profiles?
No. Facehunch does not unlock private accounts, messages or hidden posts. Search indexes have coverage gaps even for public content.
Does an empty result mean a profile is safe?
No. A photograph can be missing from an index for many reasons. Evaluate the interaction and the actual request being made, especially pressure to send money or credentials.
Are my uploads saved?
Facehunch does not persist uploaded image files in its application database. The main search saves returned source metadata and thumbnails with your account report so it can be reopened. It sends consented uploads to FaceCheck and requests input removal after completion or cancellation. The provider’s own retention rules still apply, and cleanup can fail. Read the privacy notice.
Does input removal erase pictures from the web?
No. Removing the search input is different from removing an indexed image or a source page. See the removal guide.
Where is the search interface?
Open /app. The saved-results dashboard is at /app/dashboard. Public educational guides live at /blog.
