Google improves mobile phone search outside USA
Google has delivered an update for cell phone users of its Google Mobile search option, for multiple language sites, thus providing more relevant results than up till now.
Steve Cheng, Product Manager in Google’s Mobile Search Team, in a post in the Google Mobile Blog, announced that the Mobile Search functions in Canada, Britain, France and Germany have been overhauled and improved. The new mobile search will be able to provide users with all necessary information with more ease.
In so doing, Google is getting closer to its goal to provide a universal search service. In the new iteration of the mobile search, the user enters a single search request, and receives content collected from various Google sources – from Images and News, through websites, to local search results. In the processing of the request, Google tries to interpret the question and then adjust the results accordingly. For example, if one enters the word “sunflower” [this search was made in German], the first result is a photo and web results. However when one searches “restaurant” or “dentist”, Google allows one to enter the user’s location (under “Search in the vicinity”) and then displays the according results.
When using such a local search, Google saves the entered location and will then automatically offer this as the default location. This feature can be deactivated in Settings, if not required, as well as deleting any saved locations.
To use this service, the user needs to enter [in Germany] http://www.google.de/m in the mobile device’s browser. Further information about Mobile Search [in Germany] and other mobile services can be found here.
