More Generic Results on Google Web Search Queries
April 9th, 2009 | RSS Feed
One of the recent Google posts announced that Google is now showing more local results for generic queries, but now it is officially confirmed.
According to this latest development, users are no longer required to have a location in the query for local-like keywords.
For example, if you live in New York and searching for web design, then you need to specifically type web design, NY instead just write web design in the search box. It will show you the results in the local box at the top.
Google explains this change as:
“In most cases, we match your IP address to a broad geographical location. You can also specify your likely location using the "Change location" link on the top right corner, above the map.â€
Users can use these searches for a wide range of keywords, like restaurants], [dentist], [groceries], [sporting goods], [flowers], [bank], [gym], [post office], or even [111 8th ave].

Google is constantly making the way we search things easier. If Google can eliminate the nooks and crannies to show us what we want, then great! Searching for your local dentist, or local super market should be the easiest thing we do.

Can someone also search from different location like hotels in Paris from NY accurately compared to the one searching for the same from Paris?
