LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2001--



Using Unique US SEARCH DARWIN(TM) Technology, Internet Trust Services



Division Provides Security Tools to Promote Growth



US SEARCH (Nasdaq:SRCH), a trusted, reliable source of information and risk management services, today announced that its VeroTrust(TM) Division has signed an agreement with ProZ.com, the leading online translation marketplace. VeroTrust(TM) will immediately begin providing trust services to ProZ.com\'s U.S.-based customers. Through its TrustIdentity(TM) product suite, VeroTrust(TM) provides an essential service that enables translators and those wishing to use the services of translators to transact online with the confidence of knowing they are dealing with someone whose identity has been verified by an independent third party. This application incorporates the first use of US SEARCH\'s DARWIN(TM) data retrieval and assimilation technology announced previously. This unique technology was originally introduced in a US SEARCH press release dated September 26, 2001.



DARWIN allows VeroTrust to easily construct a highly efficient mechanism to retrieve the assimilated data required to intelligently identify members within the trusted ProZ.com community.



Implementing VeroTrust\'s(TM) identity verification solution allows ProZ.com to create a highly trustworthy community that encourages e-commerce and attracts new members. TrustIdentity becomes part of ProZ.com\'s Platinum Membership Program and current translators may now submit for verification.



\"VeroTrust(TM) fills a long-standing need for instant identity verification solutions in community-based marketplaces like ProZ.com, where trust is critical in attracting and stimulating online commerce,\" said Henry Dotterer, CEO and president, ProZ.com. \"TrustIdentity adds exceptional value to our workplace. As a result of having had their identities verified with a high degree of certainty by an independent third-party, participating ProZ.com members will enjoy increased trust, and in turn, increased business.\"



TrustIdentity instantly cross-references up to 100 databases to validate and verify the registered identity of U.S.-based ProZ.com members. Verified members are awarded a TrustIdentity Seal that lets other site participants know that its holder\'s identity has been verified, while maintaining their privacy. The solution is expected to be available to international based users in 2002. ProZ.com will also take advantage of VeroTrust\'s(TM) Agent Services bureau to manually verify the small percentage of marketplace members whose identities cannot be verified instantaneously.



\"VeroTrust(TM) is pleased to be working with an online leader and innovator like ProZ.com,\" said Brent Cohen, CEO and president, US SEARCH. \"By integrating VeroTrust(TM) applications and our unique US SEARCH DARWIN(TM) data retrieval technology, ProZ.com provides benefits to its users by increasing their confidence in transacting with one another, strengthening the site\'s mission of expanding translation opportunities and providing online efficiencies.\"



About US SEARCH\'s DARWIN(TM)



US SEARCH announced on Sept. 26, 2001, that it had filed a patent for a unique data retrieval and assimilation software technology. DARWIN is the brand name that has been given to this patent-pending technology.
