Under the expanded two-year agreement, FindWhat.com will continue to provide its search results to InfoSpace`s meta-search solutions found at Dogpile (www.dogpile.com) and MetaCrawler (www.metacrawler.com). In addition, FindWhat.com`s search results, which include more than 16,500 active advertiser listings, will also soon appear on InfoSpace`s meta-search solutions found at Excite (www.excite.com) and WebCrawler (www.webcrawler.com).

"We are pleased to once again deepen our longstanding relationship with InfoSpace," said Pete Neumann, vice president of business development at FindWhat.com. "This new agreement provides FindWhat.com advertisers with additional access to a significant Internet audience, while helping users quickly find the relevant information they are searching."
"InfoSpace is focused on delivering a unique search product to Internet users that produces the right result at the right time, and FindWhat.com`s results play an important role in that equation," said York Baur, InfoSpace executive vice president, wireline and broadband. "Meta-search`s uniqueness is that the technology makes it possible to bring any number of search products into one. Further bringing FindWhat.com into the InfoSpace mix is a great example of this, as we strive to increase our market leadership in the meta-search space."
