Local Search Problem

Normal search works but I can't get the Local Search to work.
I always get 0 results returned.

Hey Lewis,

I'm glad that you've been successful using the MSN Search API.  Although our API lists Local as a source of data, we have not enabled it yet.  We're working to add additional data feeds to the service in the near future.

Hi Seth.

Any idea when the Local Search option might be available to test?
Will it initially be USA only?
There isn't a radius parameter included, so how will I know how far away the located objects are from the Lat/Long point?
Will the objects come back with a Lat/Long value?

How will you notify us when it is ready? Will it be posted in the developer center?

Any news on this feature?

This feature (Local Search, including PhoneBook results) is available now. The online documentation has been updated (see: http://msdnprod/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msn_search_web_service_sdk/html/introducingthemsnsearchwebservice.asp) and a new SDK with up-to-date code samples will be available shortly. The PhoneBook features are currently available in the USA and the UK, with additional markets coming online later in the year (no specific ETA at this time). I will post an update when we add additional markets.
