411 is a telephone number for local directory assistance in Canada and the United States. Until the early 1980s, 411 – and the related 113 number – were free to call in most jurisdictions. In the United States, the service is commonly known as "information", [1] although its official name is "directory assistance". [2]
The Wall Street Journal described it as "inspired by the business model of Google". [8] From 2005 through the early 2010, Jingle Networks guessed they saved consumers $1 billion [5] based on an inflated rate of $2 a call for directory assistance. In April 2011, Marchex bought Jingle Networks for $62.5M in combination of cash and stock.

You can use the site: parameter to search on a specific Web site. You may prefer {{ Google custom }} or {{ Google Wikipedia }} because they yield a cleaner search form, without the site: parameter cluttering the input field.
This template is a cut-down instance of the more general {{Google custom}} template. You may wish to make similar templates if you need to create repetitive links to other portions of Wikipedia that {{Google custom}} can search.
