Geo-IP Targeted Search

I recently came across a very good search engine that tries to match its search results to your IP. It does not even require you to enter your location or zip code but intuitively searches for localized results for you. This is an excellent search engine if you are looking for local information or for businesses near your home.

This distance search yellow pages at Radiux.com has just been elevated to BETA and is already open for users to try out.

This search engine currently supports searching Google, Craigslist, eBay, Amazon and Wikipedia, all the major players on the internet. I have tried it out and a rather pleased with the information I found, despite the fact that results for businesses are all American companies. I hope that they will be able to expand their local information to include more countries in the near future.
