Yes. You can type people's name and maybe a county and you'll get a list of people.

Give Google all your data. Well you have already given it because you used their services. So give it again and they will tell you when it shows up on 3rd party sites and you can request that info not show up in Google's search results. Note that the info would still be on the 3rd party site.
