Hi Barry, Edit your Yellow Cab contact and put “Yellow Cab” not just in the company field but also in the last name field. You will most likely find that SIRI will call it properly without looking it up online which is what you describe. I had the same problem with some local businesses here like Safeway, but as soon as I put the business name in the last name field SIRI will take it from your contacts instead of looking it up online. It’s ridiculous that SIRI can’t even search the company field of contacts and you basically have to duplicate the company name in the last name field.

I say: “Call Yellow Cab” and SIRI responds “I found a Yellow cab on Gladstone Street is that the one you want?” Even worse if I say “Call Caseno Taxi” also in my contacts SIRI will often respond “I found “Caseno Nova Scotia on Barrington Street . . .” - Totally unrelated to my request. It would seem as if there may be a different search algorithm which basis responses on paying customers. I have noticed this since iOS 8. It is so inefficient now. If you ask it to call a friend or family member in your contacts it works fine. Otherwise I now say “dial” and give it the number of the taxi company I want.

If I ask Siri for either the phone number or the specific address of a business located on such and such a Street, Siri always comes back and says something like I found one on such and such a Street. Is that the one you want? It is the one I asked for. Why does Siri need to ask me if what I just asked for is what I want? This is the opposite of an intelligent assistant.
