Searches on Paginegialle.it are even faster with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

Turin, 18 March 2009 – SEAT Pagine Gialle has renewed its partnership with Microsoft, upon the launch of Internet Explorer 8, thanks to development of an "accelerator" designed especially for Paginegialle.it, one of the many advanced features offered by the new browser.

 

Internet Explorer 8 introduces new customised features and innovative search tools that will allow users to take full advantage of the Web and make the online browsing experience faster, more productive and more interesting. Accelerators can make any search faster and more specific with a few clicks, starting with a word selected on a Web page displayed with the browser.

 

Paginegialle.it website users can now take advantage of the new search option on Internet Explorer 8. The accelerator developed especially by the company makes it even easier to use the SEAT Pagine Gialle online database: After entering the word or sentence desired in the page viewed with Internet Explorer 8, right clicking the mouse will launch the search on Paginegialle.it.

 

The addition of this feature reiterates SEAT Pagine Gialle’s commitment to offering new opportunities and services to its users and advertisers, to constantly promote and improve the use of the Internet in searching for information and contents.

 

One of the most recent results of the cooperation between SEAT Pagine Gialle and Microsoft is the agreement reached in June 2008 regarding a set of joint initiatives on the Windows Live and Live Search Maps platforms. Specifically, with the creation of the Windows Live Agent "Giallo Parlante", more 12.5 million Windows Live Messenger users can quickly and interactively obtain information relating to the 20 million individuals and 3.8 million businesses listed in PagineBianche and PagineGialle; in addition, Live Search Map users can view the contents of PagineGialle in the results of their searches, locating them on maps of Italian cities and building personalised routes and itineraries.
