Searching for local business listings by consumers in specialized Internet engines is known as local search. The required data is not about “what” the user is searching, like a product or business category; but also the “where” information, such as the availability, location with street address, city name, zip code and geographic co-ordinates. Business having a local presence like a shop, restaurant, clinic, garage, and realty agent benefits the most from this form of search.

Local search has primarily evolved from traditional off-line advertising. Evolution being a constant process, search is also evolving from the general web search of Yahoo, AltaVista and Excite to the present day Google. Search has not only spread out but also grown vertically. Vertical search engines for specific products and services are quite popular these days, since they provide the required information to the user. For example, a travel search engine gives exclusive details about travel deals and accommodation or a shopping search engine is perfectly suited to compare prices and strike a bargain. The latest evolution has been the local search.
