It's easy to search ....

Stop, think about what you really want. Really think...

1. Type the term in the space provided and the area or area code (or leave blank if you are uncertain of the area) e.g. plumber Sandton , plumber 011
2. Hit GO
3. Read the result

Should the search term be misspelled, then the spell checker will try to find the closest match and will supply the best 3 matches for your search term. As we have geo-coded our entire customer base, please include the area or dialing code to get the closest match.

The search panel accommodates 3 types of directory search possibilities

• is the term a category or part thereof
• is it a company name or part thereof
• or is it a physical location / address or dialing code / or part thereof.If there is more than one word entered in the search panel, then the system will:
• see if one or more of the words are an area and mark it as such
• use the remaining words as our search term
• a larger phrase will have search priority over a smaller phrase
  eg : civil engineering East London
• we isolate "East London" as an area
  we will attempt to find "civil engineering" in East London
  if we have no luck we will attempt areas close to East London
  if still no luck we will try "civil engineering" with a specified area
  finally we will try either civil or engineering but not necessarily both

use " " to encapsulate a phrase you don’t want broken up
eg: if you want "cape town" but not results that might have only "cape" or only "town" then put it in quotes
eg: "cape town"
