Another entrant in the SMS search engine and services field has announced a panoply of partnerships and offerings.

I heard from Danit Ross at Zeno Group today; she mentioned a few new offerings made available from 4INFO, a provider of SMS search and other services. Users can text 4INFO (44636) to perform a search on a query, or utilize other functions.

The 25th Anniversary of the CMJ Music Marathon, taking place in New York in September, will have 4INFO providing a mobile event guide. With so many acts performing in a number of venues over the Marathon's four days, this sounds like a very useful feature (and means not having to tote around a printed guide so you can leave it in the back of a cab.)

4INFO now supports WAP 2.0 capable mobile browsers; its mobile web search service can be reached from small screen browsers at http://wap.4INFO.net. Yellow Pages and driving directions can be found there along with other services. Later in August, the company plans to debut a Mobile Content Search, to help find music and other media from the handset.

And, 4INFO and JiWire have inked an agreement that makes JiWire's directory of Wi-Fi hotspots in the US searchable via the 4INFO service.
