NEW YORK WPP Group said it has made an investment in JumpTap, a mobile search technology and advertising firm.

Two-year-old Cambridge, Mass.-based JumpTap provides mobile search technology to wireless carriers, along with a network that matches ad messages to queries. It displays both direct-response text links and branding via banner ads. The service allows carriers like Alltel Wireless and Virgin Mobile to offer their own branded search service, rather than rely on Internet search giants Google and Yahoo.
