I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'identifies computer detective found over at this particular' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'location' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'location' could be 'address' (address is a kind of location) and 'address' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
