    This article is about algorithms for optimization. For the article about web search, see local search (Internet)
    In computer science, local search is a meta heuristic method for solving computationally hard optimization problems. Local search can be used on problems that can be formulated as finding a solution maximizing a criterion among a number of candidate solutions. Local search algorithms move from solution to solution in the space of candidate solutions (the search space) by applying local changes, until a solution deemed optimal is found or a time bound is elapsed.
    Local search algorithms are widely applied to numerous hard computational problems, including problems from computer science (particularly artificial intelligence), mathematics, operations research, engineering, and bioinformatics. Examples of local search algorithms are Walk SAT and the 2-opt algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem.

    A local search is performed when someone uses a local search engine to find products or services in their area. There are many local search engines that are used billions of times per day such as Google Maps, Yahoo Local, MSN Maps and Local.com. These local search engines are internet versions of the outdated yellow page book that no one uses much anymore.

    I am not sure how you may find a benefit from this new web site that is based on doing polls on a large variety of subjects in your local area. Maybe conduct a poll to see if there is a market for your particular product, or service in your local area? Any ideas? I would love to hear some feedback. Here is the link.~

    Local search is when a buyer submits geographically constrained searches and gets local results that are relevant to their local area based on a structured database of local business listings developed by the 3 major search engines.
    Typical local search queries include not only information about “WHAT” the user is searching for (such as keywords, a business category, or the name of a consumer product) but also “WHERE” information, such as a street address, city name, postal code, or a geographic description (Or, even your IP address location which can be tracked).
    Local Search – Example

    A search that includes a location modifier, such as “Fort Worth” or “zipcode”, is an explicit local search. Examples of local searches include “pest control 76137“, “Keller restaurants“, “doggy daycare Flower Mound” and “emergency plumber Mansfield, Tx“. Local searches exhibit explicit or implicit local intent and often times will produce listings with a corresponding map especially Google.
    A search that references a product or service that is typically consumed locally, such as “restaurant” or “carpet cleaning”, is an implicit local search. Therefore, it is extremely important to claim your Google Places page and/or your Yahoo Local / Bing Local pages. For best results, you will need to do local search optimization.

    I think Local Search is a technology that lets people search for local things using mobile equipment such as mobile phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices.

    Local search is any search aimed at finding something within a specific geographic area. Example: "hotel in downtown denver."
