Bernhard Seefeld is a Geo Software Engineer at Google. Bernhard has a long history in local search. In 1995 he co-founded search.ch, a Swiss search engine and one of the first sites that enhanced local search by connecting business entries with related web pages. The company was acquired by the Swiss Post in May, 2004. In the same year, map.search.ch, the world's first AJAX-based map was created in cooperation with Endoxon.
