Local Search using wissen.de
27 May. 2008 | Author: The knowledge portal wissen.de, and t-info GmbH (the holding concern for suchen.de) have joined forces on this project.
suchen.de has been integrated into the start page of the online-knowledge site, using a search field, labeled ‘Local search on-site’ [de=Lokale Suche vor Ort]. wissen.de users now have access to various local search functions gleaned from the databases of t-info, as announced by the wissen.de team in a press release. Most interesting is that specialized suppliers are not only discovered via directory category, but now also using product names.
The locality-based enquiry functions as usual. After the entry of search-term and location, one views a results list. However the generated results are only the basic version of suchen.de. Practical features such as map-view and search, route planner or business cards linked to individual results (some of which have free calling options) are not included at present.

suchen.de is now accessible via SMS
t-info, the proprietors of the local search engine suchen.de, has added to its locality-based SMS-Service.
This service, known as “SMS-Filialfinder” [en=SMS-BranchFinder], has been offered by t-info for several years– its selection opportunities were however not as rich as now on offer. The mobile-phone user is now able to access the entire local index of suchen.de, which hosts more than five million addresses. This was announced by the company in a press release. Additionally, one can use almost any imaginable search keyword, in using this function.
For those wishing to use this new feature, one sends a search word/string per SMS to the SMS-address 84636. Wherever one finds oneself at that moment, will according to t-info, be relayed via the mobile network to the server. For the first use of this service, the user needs to accept the Terms and Conditions, as to specifically whether t-info may determine the coordinates of the user’s actual location. Once agreed to by the user, the appropriate address(es) and telephone number(s) gathered as a result of the searched terms, will be sent to the user, specifically for their current location.
Especially practical for users without internet-ready cellphones, every received SMS costs €0,69. And the user receives for every search request a maximum of two addresses. If one then requires further search results, one then needs to reply to the first message with the letter ‘M’ (for ‘more’), and then will receive up to two further suggestions.
