Getting Started

There are several ways to search within InfoSpace Yellow Pages:

Quick Search Quick search is a fast, easy way to locate a business by name or category in a specific city and / or state. Select either the “Name of Business” or “Type of Business” search and enter the desired information in the field provided. Next, enter the correct information in the City and State fields. To search an entire state, leave the city field blank.

For example, if you were searching for an accounting firm in Boston, you would enter accounting or accountants in the field provided and select “Business Type”.Or, if you knew the name of a specific accounting firm, you would enter the name in the field provided and select “Name of Business”. Once this information was entered, you would enter the correct City and State information for Boston, MA.

Detailed Search Refine your search by entering a combination of Business Name, Business Category, City, State or ZIP code. Enter the appropriate information in the search fields and the results will be displayed.

If, for example, you were trying to find a barbershop in Toledo, OH, you would enter “barbershop” in the field provided and select “Type of Business”. Or, if you knew the name of the specific barbershop, you would enter its name in the field provided and select “Name of Business”. You would then enter Toledo, OH in the city and state fields, respectively, or enter the ZIP code for that city in the ZIP code field.

Near Address Enter the business name and/or category that you would like to find and provide the address you’d like the results to be near. For instance, if your neighborhood were downtown Seattle, and you wanted to find a florist within five miles of your home, you would enter “florists” in the field provided and select the “Type of Business” option. Then, you would enter your street address and ZIP code and press the Find button. Your requested results would now be displayed, with the closest options appearing first.

For quick access to your home or business address, click the Set Your Default Address link. Fill in your address in the fields listed. Your default address can now be selected each time you use the feature.

You can also set the radius of the search by selecting the maximum distance from the address.

Reverse Lookup Have a phone number but don’t know who it belongs to? Use Reverse Lookup to find information by simply using a phone number.

To find what individual(s) are registered to a certain phone number, simply enter the number in the Reverse Phone Number field. Be sure to select the appropriate category lookup -- Residential or Business -- for the person you are seeking and press the Find button.

This service is available for both the U.S. and Canada.
