Infospace adds results from MSN Search

April 18, 2005

Infospace is to feature MSN Search Results on private-label partner sites and other branded properties.

Infospace Search & Directory, a leading Web search and online directory services provider and a business of InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSP), today announced a two-year agreement to add results from MSN Search, the first-ever search engine built from the ground up by Microsoft, to Infospace's search offering.

Infospace's metasearch product delivers a unique experience by bringing together the top results from the most popular engines in one place. With the signing of this agreement, Infospace is the only metasearch provider to have direct distribution agreements with all four of the leading Web search algorithms -- MSN Search, Google, Yahoo and Ask Jeeves (Teoma).

"MSN Search is a terrific addition to our metasearch capability. This agreement represents our ongoing commitment to evolve our offering to help partners maximize their revenue and build stronger brands," said Richard Pelly, vice president of search distribution, Infospace Search & Directory. "As the only provider to have relationships with all four of the most popular algorithms, we are able to offer a search solution uniquely designed to provide end users with the most relevant results and support our partners' business agendas."

"We're pleased to announce our first search distribution agreement with Infospace," said Christopher Payne, corporate vice president of MSN Search.

"Infospace's strong network of private-label partners and branded sites provides a powerful distribution channel that will help us extend the reach of MSN Search results."

Infospace's metasearch product allows its private-label partners to deliver a differentiated search experience that their customers can't find at any single engine. By bringing together the top results in one place, Infospace's partners are able to deliver top quality results under their own brand and generate superior monetization.

Infospace Web search reaches approximately 14 million users every month through powering private-label search products for leading media sites, access providers and search providers and through its network of branded search properties, including Dogpile (www.dogpile.com), WebCrawler (www.webcrawler.com) and MetaCrawler (www.metacrawler.com).

Infospace expects to integrate MSN Search into its branded search properties this summer.
