AOL owned MapQuest.com has recently introduced a local search engine called MQSearch. Currently in its beta testing stage, MQSearch offers users the ability to seek out local businesses and locations.
|
Results are returned with the name and address of the business queried, with a link to a MapQuest map of the location and the estimated driving distance. MQSearch bases its map results on a 25-mile radius of the area searched. These results can be expanded out to within 50 miles.
Currently, MapQuest has no future plans for MQSearch after the beta testing is complete.
