Default Beyond411 question... - 07-26-2007, 05:03 PM

First of all, thanks Phil for all the continuing work you've put into this app for all of us.

OK, there's one thing I need to do fairly commonly, and I must not be thinking about it right, because I can't get Beyond411 to do it for me. Scenario is - I know the *name* of a business establishment, and need the phone number (and maybe address.) I type in the known name - and try a search. Yellow pages doesn't return anything, presumably because its looking for a category, not an establishment name. White pages search doesn't return anything, presumably because its only personal listings, not businesses. So, I reluctantly default to a web search - which returns thousands of irrelevant answers hundreds of miles away, because its a relatively common name and web search doesn't incorporate my Beyond411 location(s).

So, what am I doing wrong with this search, which seems like a very common thing to do with a "411" app? How should I be searching?
