Dallas-based company launches free 411 mobile search

By Pegasus News wire

DALLAS — GoMoInfo has launched a free Live Data Mobile Search engine. This patent-pending predictive mobile search technology was developed by Flash Widgets L.L.C., a Dallas-based company. The service provides a free business directory search and a click-to-call feature to reach local and national businesses. Live Data Search retrieves data as a user types. Each keystroke returns narrowed search results thus minimizing the time spent typing.

Business owners should submit their company contact information for a free listing in the directory by registering at www.gomoinfo.mobi. Additionally, a business signing up for a pay-per-call account receives the full range of features.

Businesses can now reach a nationwide audience and receive calls from customers searching for their specific service or product. A more focused local search is also available, using an advanced search option such as zip codes.

The premium advertising service offers top placement in search results and will deduct from the advertiser's business account each time their company is clicked on to dial their business.

The business directory is driven and built by small to large business patrons. A customized keyword bundles your personal business choices, from hair salons to restaurants, creating an accessible service from any location or any device. Users can submit several companies and include a keyword, which will be hidden from others, allowing them to use this service as a personalized search. For example: John Doe can submit companies in his area and always include the keyword JDoe. When he searches his keyword, his chosen submissions will be displayed. This feature enables John Doe to submit his favorite local restaurant to appear when he enters his personalized search. The searchable keywords are able to be shared and enable the exchange of recommendations locally, regionally, and nationally.

The Live Data Search engine works with mobile devices using AJAX functionality in the browser. An Adobe Flash Lite version is also available which operates on Symbian S60, Windows Mobile 5.0 or newer, Brew, and Linux devices.

GoMoInfo.com is also developing a desktop VoIP application utilizing the same click-to-call business directory available for the mobile device.
