How to Search the Minority and Disadvantaged Business Directory
Here is some information on using the online minority business directory search page. This site allows you to search for a certified business by name or by service.
Searching by Name
This site uses a "wildcard" or "fuzzy" search by design, so to search for all businesses with "Cleaning" in their name, enter simply cleaning in the Name field and click the button labeled "Refresh Listing."
Searching by Service
To search for a particular service, change the pull down list to that service type and click "Refesh Listing."
Searching by Certification (MBE only)
In the Minority Business Directory search page, you can also filter the display to show only companies which are minority-owned, woman-owned, or certifed as "other" in the directory. Remove the checkmarks from the box for the category you do not want to display, and check the checkboxes for the categories that you do want to display and click the "Refresh Listing" button.
Note: You must refresh the listing after you have selected any filtering options you want to use when you want to update the page to reflect your new choices.
Removing Search Criteria
To reset the listing to display all businesses in the current directory, click the button labeled "Show All".
