BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug 04, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- INSP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSP), a proprietary developer of metasearch products, announced today the release and key improvements of InfoSpace.com(R), a metasearch engine that provides top search results from leading search engines. Key upgrades include an improved Web site design, the addition of real-time search content, and the ability to filter results by search engine provider.

InfoSpace.com Search Engine Includes Top Results from All Search Engines:

Like all of InfoSpace.com Inc.'s Web sites, the comprehensive search results on InfoSpace.com are compiled using the top results provided by leading search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and Ask. InfoSpace.com's metasearch technology distills the broad search results, helping users understand which results were found on multiple search engines, and those that are exclusive to a single engine.

InfoSpace Search Engine Adds Real-Time Twitter Search:

To complement this "best of" web search, real-time updates from the microblogging service Twitter are available as part of InfoSpace.com's search results. InfoSpace.com users can now search for a topic and get top search results and real-time tweets at the same time, all on one page.

"Internet users don't have to choose one search engine over the other; InfoSpace.com offers the top results from all of the major search engines, and they can see what people are saying right now about their search topic on Twitter," said John Rodkin, InfoSpace's new general manager of search. "With our meta-search technology and real-time search, there's no better place to search on the Web than InfoSpace.com."

InfoSpace.com Offers Customizable Search Engine Results:

The Web site's new, clean design also provides a configurable filter feature to enable an individualized metasearch experience. This unique new tool lets users customize their InfoSpace.com site to highlight top results from their preferred search engine first, followed by top results from other search engines.

"Now users don't need to rely on one engine's results and wonder if they're missing out," said Rodkin. "InfoSpace.com is a culmination of all the best of real-time search, packaged in a sleek Web design with customizable search preferences."

As part of a business transaction and contract agreement in September 2007, the InfoSpace.com domain name was transferred to a former business partner and managed by them as a separate online directory business. The site was reclaimed by InfoSpace, Inc. in May, when InfoSpace, Inc. began the Web site's overhaul, redesign and improvements.

"We're thrilled to have InfoSpace.com back during an emerging time in search technology," added Rodkin. "We added pioneering features like comprehensive Twitter search capabilities and configurable results to our latest search service, and we're working on enhancing the site to meet our users' interests even more."
