Hello world!

March 24, 2008

Just recently, Jaime, one of our key developers, unlocked the power of SupplierSource’s international search abilities. Now you can find our growing number of partners around the globe.

You’ll get great results with postal codes; “M21 9XW” gives:postal code 3.5

City and country searches work well too; “christchurch new zealand” gives:city country 3.5 

Even complete street addresses work (most of the time);

“36100 ZANE’ (VI) ITALY - Via Pettinà, 16 - P.IVA 00147230247 IT” gives:

full address 3.5

But, you do need to be more specific with cities that may exist in multiple countries. If your looking for Moscow, Vermont - be sure to include the state too; “moscow vt” gives very different results…

moscow vt 3.5

…than just “moscow”

plain moscow 3.5

You may have noticed from these examples that searching does not require strict punctuation or even capital letters.

So, have some fun and check out our partners around the globe. Just remember that it is a big place and we won’t always be right. Please keep your own profile up to date too, so that folks can find you!
