The above websites were included in this Media Search initially to demonstrate this feature as a convenient research tool.

Other websites may be added in the future according to feedback from the corporate executives, professional business advisors, and sponsors we serve about what they would like to search this way, because this free tool is designed for their convenience.

The following websites may also be of some interest, but at this time Google indicated that it did not have many pages indexed on these websites, for whatever reason.

 

The basic premise behind our GUIDE services (Globally Uniform Investment Data & Experience), such as Area Profiles, Area Surveys, Area Reports and other research, is to provide executive summary information which becomes a convenient search path to quickly discover when a potential business location may be relevant to the needs of a project.

The ability to conveniently search the websites of participating organizations complements this "high level" or "long list" exploratory search work with the ability to drill down for more details while working "on the short list" selection process.

That includes the capability to not only find basic factual data attributes about the area, such as demographic statistics or directories of available properties, but also to quickly search through apparently relevant websites for information to address specific project interests, including the recent experience of other investors in the area or business clusters.

Our Invest USA, Invest in Europe, and global Contacts directories (geographic regions and professional specialties) already make it easy to find relevant websites and follow whatever navigational structure and search options they may offer to present information about their areas or services.  These custom Search features, however, make it fast and easy to use Google's intuitive process to find whatever relevant content has been indexed.

See also : Tips about using these custom Google site search features (below)

As this website develops, it will be easy for visitors to search this website for content relevant to their interests, which will then link out to other websites for more details.

Our executive summary presentations (Surveys, Profiles, Reports and other GUIDE content) create search paths on this website as well as on www.gdi-solutions.com to find and contact potentially relevant business locations and services quickly and easily, but we have also provided the flexibility to search specific websites directly for anything.

This makes it easy to search for a "long list" of relevant business locations or services, and then drill down "on the short list" through the search tool for specific details of interest.

We have also made it easy to search some of the available corporate real estate (CRE) property listing services through the very fast and flexible Google site search feature rather than through standard forms for database queries by common attributes such as the building size, location, eave height, etc.  This makes it possibly to quickly search for anything relevant which might be contained in the property listing.

Tips about using these custom site search features

 

Not all pages on a website may be indexed.  This depends on a variety of website design factors and search engine processes.

 

The site search tools provided by the respective websites may be more comprehensive if they provide access to content which Google does not index, or very recent content which Google may not have crawled yet.  Since these Google results are the same as those which are available in a general Google Search of the World Wide Web - but limited to the content of a specific site - this can also be helpful to test how Google is finding results for such a site, and how the results of interest would appear to Google Search users.

We do not reproduce copyrighted material of such publishers.

We just make it easier for the executives and professionals we serve to use Google's intuitive site search capabilities to quickly find relevant websites and whatever they may be seeking in a globally consistent way, despite the inconsistent design of most such websites and their own site search tools.

Google may not index all website pages of such organizations because of their design, but our market research work in this niche makes thousands of relevant pages available for quick reference for the convenience of the executives and business advisors we serve.
