Search Engines
Due to the innovative nature of .tel domains, search engines can discover new opportunities when indexing .tel data. Some traditional search engines can index the .tel web pages - representations of .tel data created by the TelProxy service. Other search engines can implement direct DNS crawlers that can speedily index .tel domains directly from the DNS.
Because .tel domains contain structured data with descriptive labels, search engine algorithms can easily identify the type of data published in a .tel and display it accordingly. With .tel, a search algorithm does not need to identify a string of numbers as a telephone number because the service type for this contact item contains "voice-tel" already. These unique .tel features can help your .tel be high in returned search engine ratings; for more information on search engine optimization, please see SEO in .tel.
TelPages, an official search engine by Telnic, will released later in 2009. In the meantime, you can use one of the community-driven search facilities below. These facilities exclude basic search utilities based on a custom Google search since you can achieve the same results by prefixing "site:tel" to the search query.
