Google today announced that they have updated the Google search experience for BlackBerry 6.0 WebKit enabled devices. Improvements focus on both search and results pages and should make searching faster and easier, especially on touch-enabled Blackberry devices. Among these are:
- Enter searches faster: Save time by using autocomplete and search history queries that appear beneath the search box as you type.
- Web search: Find what you’re searching for fast. Comprehensive results pages let you see relevant websites, images, videos, news, real-time results and more. Simply click on the arrow button ‘>>’ to the left of the top search box for more refinement options.
- Image search: Swipe through image results quickly and easily on touch enabled devices. Start by selecting ‘Images’ at the top of www.google.com, then enter a search. From there, click on any image to view a larger size.
- Local search: Find restaurants, shops and other popular business categories with a single tap. Start by selecting ‘Places’ at the top of www.google.com, then click on an icon from the Places homepage.
The enhancements are available for RIM OS 6.0+ devices with WebKit browsers, including the BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry Bold 9780.
