Cox Interactive Media and LookSmart to Create Local Search Engine Network

Posted on November 16, 1998

Cox Interactive Media (CIMedia) and LookSmart, an Internet search service, have introduced a local search engine network.

"Our research consistently indicates that consumers want a local search engine to navigate through the exploding number of local Web sites in markets where they live," said Peter Winter, president of CIMedia. "LookSmart, with its unique, easy-to-use interface and attention to editorial excellence, emerged as the best choice."

"We are thrilled that Cox Interactive Media has partnered with LookSmart to create a Web directory and search engine specifically for consumers in local markets," said Evan Thornley, LookSmart CEO and co-founder. "Complementing CIMedia's 25 major markets with a local LookSmart Web directory and search engine for the remaining top 40 markets in the U.S. is a natural step in the evolution of the Internet marketplace."
