p2b.net the search engine for Brighton & Hove

theplacetobe.net was an innovative city-wide partnership set up to improve the quality of information available about Brighton & Hove for people living in, working in, and visiting the city.

The partnership established an innovative search engine service at www.p2b.net which only searches local websites. Using state-of-the-art Google technology users can get exactly what they need when looking for local information. It continues to provide a search facility that has been used almost 1,000,000 time since 2005.

The partnership carried out research into local health information and funded the redevelopment of Community Brighton and the creation of a community server for use by local not for profit groups. 

The project was funded by Invest to Save finding from the Government. SCIP provided the main drive for the project over several years, including project management of the partnership, which included:

  • Brighton & Hove City Council
