Phone
Number Directories / Search Engines
NOTE:
For an updated list of phone number directories & search engines,
please refer to the current version of the Search
Engine Yearbook.
Most online phone number directories
and search engines are derived from one of two major databases: "infoUSA",
formerly known as American Business Information Inc., and from Acxiom.
So to keep it short and to the point, I'll give
you a major online directory for each database:
SuperPages.com
(Uses Acxiom)
The SuperPages homepage offers a yellow pages search (businesses). For
a white pages search, select the "People Search" link from
the menu. SuperPages allows you to search by US state or the entire
country. Notably, the Acxiom database returned slightly more results
in a test search than infoUSA.
http://www.superpages.com/
Switchboard.com
(Uses
infoUSA)
A slightly cleaner looking homepage that offers a choice of white or
yellow pages right from the start.
http://www.switchboard.com/
 This
page is based on information contained in the Search Engine Yearbook 2003.
For more detailed search engine information & help, please refer to the
current version of the book.
