I was actually talking to my girlfriend the other day about why the sensis search engines are so crap, and figured it out as thus:
So that they can continue to SELL ADVERTISING SPACE in the PRINTED VERSIONS- where they have a monopoly, and are smarting from the internet searches. If the YELLOWPAGES.COM.AU site worked as it should, they'f be no need for anyone to reach for the 'real' copies.
An example for overseas users of how bad it it.
Supposing I was to search for JOHNS FURNITURE COMPANY, I know the suburb its in and the state. No matter WHAT you put in, it'll always come back with the message "They are too many listing for that name..." so it lists EVERY SINGLE PHONE NUMBER that has JOHN, FURNITURE and COMPANY in their names. sometimes that's several pages until you get to the correct one. arghhhhh!
