GuruNet, which publishes the Answers.com search site, said it would change its name to Answers Corp., subject to shareholder approval. The company also said the Nasdaq had approved its application to move its shares to the Nasdaq's National Market System, where starting next month it will trade under the symbol "ANSW." GuruNet presently trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "GRU."

It isn't the first name change for the GuruNet, which changed to Atomica in 2000 when it attempted an enterprise play, and back to GuruNet when it resumed its consumer focus.
