Administrator DKT27 Posted February 26, 2010 Administrator Share Posted February 26, 2010 Google searchers can now refine their search results based on location, the company announced Friday. The new "Nearby" feature is available in Google's Search Options panel. It defaults to users' current location, which can be further refined to include their city, region, or state.Google is showing off its new "Nearby" feature.The Nearby tool also gives users the option of searching a different area with the help of a "custom location" option that requires them to input a city and state or zip code. Google said the Nearby tool works by geography, rather than keyword, which means that results will include surrounding areas; they won't be limited to the single town or city a user selects. Google's addition of Nearby to its search results comes just more than a month after the company launched its "Near Me Now" feature for mobile search. That option enables users to query Google from their iPhone or Android-based device to find results around their location.Source - CNET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
