I don’t know if this’ll be useful to anyone or not, but over the past several months I’ve compiled a list of the physical locations of some search (using the term loosely) companies. Why? Because deep in my soul there still lives a librarian and ontologist. I’ve limited it to companies that have English products.
It’s certainly not exhaustive, so if you know more, send them my way.
