Is there a good deep web search for reverse UK phone searching

Is there a good deep web search for reverse UK phone searching ? know in Google you can do that but only searches surface web ( as opposed to deep web). Pipl.com does reverse phone number searching. It only works for American & Canadian numbers.

I believe the practice is illegal over here.

As Daffy654 indicates it's a serious criminal offence in the UK for anyone to make 'reverse searching' facilities available, either on CD or online. (Anyone doing so would probably face a lengthy prison sentence).

When telephone directories first became available on CD (before the rise of internet directories) the 'professional' (i.e. expensive) versions of those disks did offer reverse searching. But privacy campaigners quickly pointed out that, for example, a woman might be prepared to give her phone number to a handsome stranger she'd met in a nightclub but, until she got to know him better, she might not want him to know her address. The Data Protection Registrar (as he was then called, prior to him becoming the Information Commissioner) ruled that reverse search directories breached the Data Protection Act, meaning that criminal proceedings would follow against anyone who made such facilities available to the public.

Does anyone know a good general deep search engine? I mean does not after to offer a specific reverse phone search facility. I used certain deep web engines but not that good. Google returns more relevant search results. I think I came across a UK reverse phone search engine but only for listed numbers. I can't find it any more.
