A limited public search layer

Public Contact Search stays separate from Workspace

This product describes a limited public-layer contact lookup experience. It does not expose private, restricted, or workspace-owned records.

What Public Contact Search does

The intended public layer accepts limited supported criteria and returns only fields approved for public presentation. It cannot bypass permission, quota, or privacy controls.

Supported input and returned output

Supported inputs

  • Limited public criteriaUse only criteria approved for the public search contract.
  • Public request contextSubmit without gaining workspace identity or scope.
  • Privacy-safe queryAvoid private or restricted person data.

Returned outputs

  • Publicly permitted fieldsReturn only fields explicitly approved for public display.
  • Limited result stateShow found, not found, unavailable, or blocked context.
  • Next-step boundaryExplain when an authenticated workspace is required.
