Just Dial launches local search engine

Just Dial Services, India’s telephonic search company has launched a local search engine, www.justdial.com. Just Dial local search website provides users access to any local information across leading cities and multiple categories with extremely relevant search results instantly. Just Dial also offers listings for businesses, enabling focused outreach via increased visibility for prospective customers optimizing their advertising revenues.

Just Dial is an open search application which gives users the liberty to define their search whilst supporting it with intelligence that picks up synonyms and phonetics, rendering much more effectiveness and ease-of-use.

“Pursuant to the success of our telephone based search service, we saw the need to expand our services to reach users via multiple tools, which would make local searches convenient, fast and highly accurate for consumers. With the proliferation of Mobile phones and Internet, JustDial.com aims to make local search information available at the click of a button”, says V.S.S. Mani, Founder & MD, Just Dial Pvt.Ltd.

Unlike generic search engines, JustDial allows consumers to search for any local information by categorizing the query into the company/ name or product/ service, local area (within cities) and even by price, giving the user extremely relevant and tailored results.

For consumers looking to find ‘Chinese restaurants’ in a suburb of Mumbai - Bandra, the user gets a results page instantly, on a host of relevant options along with price ranges (and soon with Menu cards). One of the most popular searches is the movies category where Just Dial not only allows you to get show timings at nearest theatres but also provides links to online ticket booking sites. With a few simple clicks of the mouse users can easily search and book their movie tickets and head straight for the theatre.
