The website also supports multiple keyword searching. Consumers can also send information to their mobile phones from the website.

Rod Diefendorf, vice president of online and local search, said: “InfoSpace’s new local search services are the result of extensive research on user preferences and experiences from online and mobile devices. InfoSpace Local and InfoSpace Find It! meet the consumer demand for more personalized and relevant local information and helps consumers easily and quickly discover things to do around where they are or will be.” [Source]

InfoSpace allows consumers to personalize their search on the basis of neighborhood, landmarks or a point-of-interest. Users are also able to perform targeted searches using multiple keywords.

“For example, users searching for a hotel that has a fitness center simply enter the keywords (hotel and fitness center), and a location — perhaps a landmark — in order to receive a comprehensive list of hotels with fitness centers near a certain landmark.” [Source]

The results are displayed with highlighted keywords to indicate its relevancy to the search. The results are accompanied by contact information, including address, phone numbers, maps and directions. Users can send the information to a mobile phone.
