Description
Use a search engine to find web pages containing a telephone number. When running any of the search engine Transforms (*_SE) on an Entity the search results (each URL) are collected within the Entity itself.
This Transform generates separate URL type Entities from each result. This allows you to now perform Transforms on each URL - like mining for email addresses, links or phone numbers.
Typical Use Case:
Get URLs of the web page on which the Phone Number was indexed by the Search Engine Transform.
Example
Starting with Linode.com we can find the phone numbers using a search engine. We can then trace webpage URLs that mention these phone numbers.
