Open source intelligence (OSINT) refers to the gathering and retrieval of data and information from online servers or sources that are freely accessible or are open-source. OSINT has been prominent over decades, under one name or the other. With the advent of instant communication and rapid knowledge exchange, much actionable and informative knowledge can now be accessed from unclassified, public sources. OSINT can help to collect data from the web and use it according to a model's requirements and needs. A web search tool has been proposed here to look for similar advantages, explaining the tool's functionalities and development strategy, which aims to minimize target search time and use minimum input data for the same. In addition, to provide a different means for searching and data filtering so that only the best information is provided.
