InfoSpace Introduces New Local Search Site with Focus on High Relevancy and Personalization; Launch Includes Timely Information and Ability to Search by Neighborhoods, Landmarks, Points-of-Interest

Business Wire, March 27, 2006

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- InfoSpace, Inc. (Nasdaq:INSP), a leader in online and mobile search, today announced the launch of InfoSpace Local, a new local search Web site which allows consumers to find highly relevant listings including neighborhood businesses, white pages listings, event information, maps, directions, and useful Web pages. The site also features multiple keyword searching, time-based results such as movies and events, and a send-to-mobile feature which allows users to send information to their handsets, creating continuity between their online and mobile experiences. The new service, currently in beta, is available at local.infospace.com.

InfoSpace also announced the launch of InfoSpace Find It!(TM) with Sprint Nextel. The industry's first comprehensive local-based search product for mobile phones, InfoSpace Find It! allows consumers to easily and quickly find everything from nearby restaurants and movie times to people, maps and driving directions all in one integrated application. Both InfoSpace Local and InfoSpace Find It! demonstrate the Company's commitment to providing the highest-quality local search experience online and on mobile devices.

"InfoSpace's new local search services are the result of extensive research on user preferences and experiences from online and mobile devices," said Rod Diefendorf, vice president of online and local search. "InfoSpace Local and InfoSpace Find It! meet the consumer demand for more personalized and relevant local information and helps consumers easily and quickly discover things to do around where they are or will be."

InfoSpace Local breaks out of the limitations of city, state or zip code search by allowing users to personalize their searches according to their neighborhood, a landmark or a point-of-interest. It also allows users to do more targeted searches using multiple keywords. For example, users searching for a hotel that has a fitness center simply enter the keywords (hotel and fitness center), and a location -- perhaps a landmark -- in order to receive a comprehensive list of hotels with fitness centers near a certain landmark. Each result displays highlighted keywords to indicate its relevancy to the search and each result is accompanied by contact information including an address, phone, maps and directions, and the ability to send the contact information to a mobile phone.

To deliver the most relevant local search results, InfoSpace Local searches its comprehensive business listings, which have been augmented with product, service, movie and event information drawn from a wide variety of databases such as the yellow pages, newspapers and other sources. Additionally, InfoSpace leverages its proprietary metasearch technology to search the Web and return the most relevant local results to a user's query. Altogether, InfoSpace Local is able to deliver an enhanced local search experience that connects users to the local information they need.
