Discovered by Reg Aubry, and fully explained by Tara Calishain is Google’s “phonebook” syntax. Explains Tara: “The phone number feature allows you to enter a phone number or name and get phone book lookups in your Google search results. For example, “phonebook: starbucks, boston” will get you a listing of the two dozen odd Starbucks in Boston, all on one page. Information listed includes business name, phone number, address, and links to two map generators for that location.”
