Conceived in the mid 1990's to change the way residents find local information, this major metropolitan directory utilizes one of the most unique and powerful local databases available today. The database includes local businesses, schools, and attractions, including listings by payment types accepted, hours of operation, and a variety of other qualifiers.

In an effort to take their database searching to the next level, the client contacted Cybergroup, Inc. to add several significant enhancements. Greg Bean, President of Cybergroup quickly turned to dtSearch. “Our client needed to retrieve and present information from local business web sites, as well as from their SQL databases. And they needed to present relevant information to their searchers. Those requirements were 'a natural' for dtSearch,” said Bean.

Cybergroup used dtSearch's custom field capability and a Cybergroup-developed indexing module to marry documents with the SQL databases. The end result provides a much more powerful and relevant tool for those searching for local information. The customer stated: “Our clients have always been impressed by the quality of information we provide. With the enhancements we've added through dtSearch, our directory offers an unparalleled search solution for local searchers as well as our client businesses”.
