InfoSpace has a very useful and unique feature: regional/metro search, which searches the entire metro area of the city you specify. It gives a count of matches, but doesn't display the full listings until you click on one individually (it shows just the name, city, and state otherwise). It also sorts by state (if you didn't search for a particular one), rather than alphabetically. Another unique feature: you can do reverse searches based on phone number (home or office), area code, and even address!
