Introducing a new local search experience across your devices Posted: 05 Mar 2012 02:54 PM PST (Cross posted on the Inside Search Blog) How often are you doing a Google search from your computer to find information about a place before going there? Now, next time you go to Google.com on your Android phone or iPhone, information about that place will be conveniently available under the new "Recent" icon. Calling, getting directions or seeing details about the places you just searched for is now only one tap away. We provide this new convenience feature for users who have Web History enabled and are logged into Google when doing their search. Start by searching for a place on your PC or other devices, then login to Google.com's mobile homepage and check the Recent icon. Information about previously searched places will be available under the Recent icon for about a day. The new "Recent" icon shows information about places you have recently searched for on any of your devices. Try swiping to the right to see more icons for other categories of places. Next time you are heading to a place you have recently searched for, no need to worry if you can't remember the address or phone number. Just go to Google.com on your smartphone and tap on the "Recent" icon. We hope you find this new feature useful! Posted by Junichi Uekawa, Software Engineer
