Playing with different add-ons for firefox I came across a local search add-on called LookLOCAL. Once installed your firefox browser grows yet another toolbar. This one allows you to either search for a business / business category in a particular location, or to get directions from one point to another. The results for the search show up in a new tab, and you see that they use Microsoft’s Live search and maps. However, looking at the top of the screen there are radio buttons to switch to Google Maps and Yahoo local. Flicking those radio buttons changes the map to the one selected, but the results stay the same (this is a great way to compare the mapping services provided by the big 3). Returning to the search area and clicking on the search button performs the search on whichever of the 3 radio buttons is selected, which makes this a fantastic tool for comparing local results between the big 3.
