Search.ch Lead Scraper via URL for CSV Export
This Search.ch lead scraper turns a public Search.ch telephone directory listing URL into a structured CSV for Swiss business research. Import the workflow into the UScraper local desktop app, edit the directory URL, and export business name, address, phone numbers, fax, email, website, detail link, categories, information, rating, review count, and source URL without wiring a scraper API.

Export Search.ch leads from a directory URL
The bundled workflow starts with a Search.ch telephone directory URL such as https://search.ch/tel/?was=Restaurant&wo=Berne&pages=20. UScraper navigates to the page, waits for article.tel-resultentry result cards, removes common cookie overlays, then scrolls until both the result count and page height remain stable.
After the visible listings load, the template enriches rows by fetching each Search.ch detail page when the listing exposes one. That enrichment step is what helps the export capture email, fax, external website, detail link, and longer information text when Search.ch makes those fields public. Blank cells are expected when a business profile does not publish a field.
Lead fields ready for spreadsheets
Export Search.ch business directory data into a CSV that sales, research, operations, and local SEO teams can filter, deduplicate, and audit.
URL-based input
Start from an approved Search.ch listing URL, then change the was, wo, and pages parameters for another category or Swiss location.
Detail-page enrichment
The workflow checks public detail pages for phone, fax, email, website, and information fields instead of relying only on the listing card.
Local desktop execution
The browser run and CSV output stay in your configured desktop workflow unless you add a separate upload, sync, or sharing block.

How to use
Run the Search.ch lead scraper via URL
2
Edit the listing URL
Replace the sample restaurant-in-Berne URL with your approved Search.ch telephone directory URL. Keep pages=20 for the largest public lazy-loaded batch, then test one category before expanding.
3
Confirm the save folder
Structured Export writes search-lead-scraper-via-url.csv with headers enabled and create mode on. Change the folder before client, region, or campaign-specific runs.
4
Run the browser flow
UScraper navigates, waits for load, confirms result cards, scrolls until stable, enriches each visible listing, pauses briefly, and exports rows.
5
Open and audit the CSV
Check row counts, sample detail links, and blank contact fields before importing the file into a CRM, spreadsheet, or enrichment pipeline.

Frequently asked questions
Search.ch directory entries may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by Search.ch terms, robots rules, privacy law, directory database rights, and the way you reuse the data. Keep runs modest, do not bypass access controls, and get legal review before using exported leads commercially.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance notes
Guardrails for reliable Search.ch exports
Rate limits
Directory pages can slow down under heavy automation
Use modest batches, avoid parallel runs against the same listing, and add longer waits if result cards or detail pages load inconsistently.
Layout drift
Selectors depend on public Search.ch markup
Blank names, missing links, or empty exports usually mean the listing layout changed, a consent layer blocked the page, or the URL returned fewer public cards than expected.
Compliance
Lead data still needs responsible use
Review Search.ch terms, robots guidance, Swiss and local privacy rules, and your internal acceptable-use policy before outreach, resale, or large-scale reuse.
