Trying to decide where to put our advertising dollars.

Could you help out a little bit?
Let's say you wake up Monday morning with a tooth ache, and you need a dentist. And for some reason, maybe you are new to the area or you don't know anyone who goes to a dentist. (so no referral is possible)
1) Would you be more likely to search the Internet on the phonebook?
2) Which search engine would you use? Google, Yahoo, Msn ?
3) What is your age group? Under 40, 40 to 60, 60 plus?

Thanks for your time

You may be interested in knowing that U-Haul is one of the LARGEST yellow pages advertisers in the U.S. They are in the process of changing their advertising to more internet advertising, rather than phone book.
