Business Wire, June 7, 2006

CHICAGO & NEW YORK -- Info.com, a search platform for broad-web and vertical search engines, today announced a partnership with Answers.com, the leading Internet encyclopedic reference site dedicated to delivering answers covering over 3 million topics. Answers.com offers clear and authoritative content drawn from high-quality, trusted titles, as well as content created by its own editorial team, complementing Info.com's robust vertical-search capabilities.

As a result of the partnership, Info.com visitors now have access to relevant, comprehensive reference-related information as part of the search process. On the right hand side of the reference results page, users can view Info.com's meta-search results from all the leading search engines.

"We are pleased to integrate Answers.com content into Info.com's vertical search offerings, especially since it conveniently aggregates information derived from a wide variety of sources, often not available in such a manner from traditional search engines," said Stephen Scarr, Info.com CEO.

Users can immediately access Info.com's new reference service by visiting www.reference.info.com or www.info.com and clicking on the "Reference" tab.
