Local-i

Local-i offers users to search for restaurants. You can find restaurants by keyword search or by guided search using metadata. With keyword search you enter the relevant keywords for your, such as clean and good. This will result in a listing of restaurants. Each result entry contains the name of the restaurant (as link), the restaurant type, the neighbourhood, the rating, the number of expert reviews and the comments. It is possible to sort the results by name, price or rating. The guided search allows the user to select from a cuisine, a neighbourhood, an ambiance, price, rating or feature (award-winning, brunch, catering, etc.). It is possible to narrow (refine) a query using metadata. Clicking on a restaurant title reveals the address, a link to directions and links elsewhere on the web. Each link is presented by a title, a description and the URL. The links are divided in expert reviews and comments from diners.

I call this a geographic metadata search tele-service. It is not clear how the keyword search works, i.e. how the keywords are translated to results.
