Search & Find

Search & Find produces and sells instruments facilitating the search for persons, companies, products and services. The printed and interactive directories are the foundation of the Search & Find platform which is the first marketplace in Switzerland on which local supply and demand meet up. This platform is permanently supplemented by offers of additional services such as: leisure, guides, classifieds etc.

Search & Find brings together the Swiss companies LTV Yellow Pages, Fundgrueb, Autobörse and The Guide Company. These work closely with the partner companies of the Swisscom-PubliGroupe joint venture : Swisscom Directories and local.ch.

In October 2007, we announced with our partner Swisscom that local.ch would progressively bring together the www.local.ch, www.whitepages.ch and www.theyellowpages.ch platforms with a view to extending the services offered on the Internet and via mobile phones; our ambition is also to turn www.local.ch into a leader on the highly competitive market of search engines for information and commercial offers targeted on the local markets.

On the French market, Search & Find brings together Amitel and, since November 2007, the Bégécom group which together publish 43 local directories with the ambition of developing a nationwide Internet portal to meet local needs.
