tado certainly has a point in regards to searching on the major engines. However, there will always be room for niche directories. These niche directories brings added value to it's users with detailed information that the major engines cannot incorporate.
UltraSeek would be a bit costly for this type of setup but there are a plethora of search engine apps out there with modest prices($99 - 1,000.00 and some free) which will do the job.
I ran a maritime related directory for well over four years with good statistics and was bought out by the competition..
