Check the biz listings under "Research Consultants" next time you’re online, and you’ll find a drekload of people who claim to have that talent. Phone up one of these slags, tell ‘em what you want to know, transfer cred, and just wait for them to come up with something, null persp. Works just great if what you’re digging for is stuff that nobody wants to keep secret—like the current, up-to-the-minute population of Seattle, or the price of tea in China, or whatever. Hire a competent researcher and let ‘em rip.
