I beleive

if we are talking about local search - i beleive that all local search sites should be listed - if you only list google and yahoo and microsoft - then the internet becomes run by them. all pages in wikipedia should have all professional site and sites that are not so good - this way people can get a feeling of what the web really is and that it is not only run by - MICROSOFT _ GOOGLE AND YAHOO and others..Although at the moment it is.. This is a general thought for all pages... For instance if i search to learn about cars - Am i only going to see FORD and CHEVY --- well i hope not because allot of companies make cars.. I know some people think they are doing a service by saying I AM THE MAN - i will remove what i think is spam...but remember wikipedia is built on what people think --- even the bum on the side of the street if he has computer access -- I say please edit if it is really spam but research before you do... As i have only looked at a few pages on this site and reviewed UNDO's and we lose alot of valuable information. from people playing GOD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.7.220.137 (talk • contribs)

This is not what Wikipedia is for. Specifically, information in Wikipedia must be notable, and Wikipedia is not a link directory. Haakon (talk) 15:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Google+ Local

I added information on Google+ Local since it's one of the most important parts of the newest local search. I included a quality citation from Search Engine Journal. This whole page needs more good citations. Gustav38 (talk) 22:11, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
