Searching for Phone Book Listings
229
Notes
• Type a city in the City text box to narrow your yellow page search. Do
not enter more than five digits for a ZIP Code search or three digits for
a Postal Code search.
• Yellow page keywords must be at least three characters in length.
Text Box Tip
Name Name searches do not require punctuation.
Type the last name first.
The Phone tab recognizes partial last names. You may get
better results (for longer names or if you are unsure of the
spelling) if you only type a portion of the name.
Many business names are abbreviated in phone book
listings. For best results, try additional searches using
alternate spellings or abbreviations.
Street
Address Street name descriptors (e.g., street, road, drive) should
not be used for address searches. However, you can use
street name abbreviations (e.g., st, rd, dr).
You can use street address ranges (such as 100-200 Main
St) for address searches.
City Long city names may be abbreviated in the Phone data. Try
shortening the city name until the search finds the city
name you recognize, then use that abbreviation. You must
also select a State, or type a full or partial ZIP/Postal Code
or phone number.
City listings may have variances in spelling, such as "Saint
Louis" rather than St Louis".
ZIP/Postal
Code
ZIP Code searches must contain at least three digits. Postal
Code searches must contain at least three characters.
Phone Phone number searches must contain at least six digits (the
area code and exchange; no punctuation is necessary).
Yellow Pg
(Yellow
Pages)
Yellow page searches should be singular (for example, type
restaurant instead of restaurants).
If you use multiple words, all of the words are required to
form a match.
There are over 34,000 yellow page headings possible. Use
keywords you would expect to find in the yellow pages.
Yellow page searches must be at least three characters in
length.

Notes
• If you do not receive any results from your yellow page search, use an
alternative keyword for your search attempt. For example, if you are
looking for a clothing store, type “clothing” instead of “clothes.” Or, if
