IBLSE launches search engine for local business listings

Kolkata-headquartered diversified group IBLSE Group has launched its search-engine to cater to local search requirements. The search-engine www.iblse.com will allow users to submit geographically constrained searches against a database of local business listings.

Users can key in search words such as a name of a consumer product, address, street names, etc and obtain details of it. The search will cater to region-specific as well as national ones. Currently, JustDial and GetIt are two such search companies that carry out similar operations.

“We officially launched the server on Thursday. Over the last four months we had carried out trial runs through our Beta version,” Biman Das, Director, IBLSE Group, said.

The search engine will use an US-based server to give the required information.

According to Das, while registration on the search engine will be initially free, the company will switch over to a membership model April onwards.
