Yesterday, Google made two new enhancements for mobile users that have the Google app installed. The most significant is a feature called “Personalized Suggest,” which will remember your searches when you switch between PC and mobile versions of Google.com. As you type your query in the search bar, these past records will appear as search suggestions. To get this feature to work, you need to log in when using your PC as well as your mobile device.
The mobile browser has also made upgrades to your local searches for the mobile browser. The “Local” tab will allow you to search nearby restaurants, hotels, shopping, gas, etc. This feature has a similar interface to Google Maps. You’ll also be able to view points of interest that you have saved in Google Maps. Right now, the local search feature has compatibility in the United States and China.
The updates were low key as most of the world focused on Google Wave. The collaboration application permitted 100,000 invitees to test drive it this week.
