Yahoo! India, a leading provider of comprehensive online products and services to consumers and businesses in India today announced the launch of oneSearch SMS, the company’s latest search offering in the mobile space for Indian consumers.

How oneSearch SMS works

With the launch of oneSearch SMS in India, Yahoo! is enabling all mobile users to search for almost any content through its 58242 short code. For example:



· SMS to 58242 with the city name (e.g. Mumbai) returns back the weather
· SMS to 58242 with the company name (e.g. Infosys) returns back the stock quote
· SMS to 58242 with a business name or category and a location (e.g. Pubs Mumbai) returns back the name, address, and phone number of the local business. Up to 3 business listings are provided for each search query with the ability to ask for more by sending an “m”. Local business listings are currently available across the 4 big metros of Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, and Bangalore.
· SMS to 58242 with a news topic (e.g. Eklavya in Oscars) returns back a news article
