Local Internet Search searches across the system, without a second index
One search box over the shared records, reusing the existing discovery architecture — no new index, no ranking, no promoted results.
What changed?
- A cross-system search surface was built on the shared discovery reads already used by each site's own search, with no second database, index, geography or category taxonomy.
- Results are labelled by what they actually are and routed to the experience that already owns them.
- Reviews are excluded and the exclusion is explained: every review in the system today belongs to a demonstration business.
Why does it matter?
Searching across many local experiences should not require a separate search engine, a ranking model or paid placement. It only requires that the records be shared in the first place.
What's live now?
- Searching businesses, organizations, articles, guides, events, offers and places in one place.
- Results in the order the system already holds them, stated plainly on the page.
- No demonstration content anywhere in the results.
