Something's really wrong with local google when it doesn't even list your post office

[c627627]

I mean go to http://yp.yahoo.com and try post office (it works, it correctly lists your local post office)
then try it with http://local.google.com/

How could they not list one of the most important and basic search yellow page listings?

Yahoo yellow pages gave me wrong directions on so many occasions that I'd like to switch (but to what?) plus I hate it how instead of the main number for things like Walmart or similar, Yahoo yellow pages lists the number for their auto shops or vision centers which of course have no way of transferring you to the main store number.

Is there a way to report glaring omissions like that?

What yellow pages do you all use?

I get off the damn computer and use a real phonebook.

Yes. And after you step out of your cage, which online yellow pages would you use?

 

[Anubis]

phonebook

or

yellowpages.com

When you're outside your house and there is no phone book but a computer/laptop with an internet connection is there, it's a great way to try to find what you're looking for, right?

...and yellowpages.com, (incredibly), also does not list things like the post office.

yellowpages.com for me too, I don't like how you have to separately specifiy your location in Yahoo!...as for the post office, how about using usps.gov?

 

[Jawo]

I think that the Post office would be listed under "Federal Government"
also try usps.com, it has a locator for the nearest post offices in the area.

isn't "local internet" a non-sequitur?

Yahoo YP worked for me when I typed in "post office"

 

[c627627]

Yes http://yp.yahoo.com works but it gave me wrong directions once too often so this is about finding an alternative to yp.yahoo.com

Post office is just an example, it's not about finding "a post office" but using that example to show how bad some online yellow page sites are.

That one does not list them in order of proximity. Example search: "pizza hut"
It listed 15 metro locations, only to list the one closest to me as the 16th entry.
