A completely redesigned Google Search App for Windows 7.5 phones

(Cross posted on the Inside Search Blog)

Windows Phone owners can now get easy access to the Google Search App, available in the Windows Phone Marketplace. Check out these features which help you get useful results fast:

• Google Autocomplete: As you type in your search, our autocomplete feature offers search predictions that often match your intended search term making search entry easier and faster.


• Voice Search: With our voice feature, you can avoid typing all together. Simply press the microphone and begin speaking your query.


• My Location: With your permission, Google can use your device location to provide nearby results easily and accurately. For instance, a search for “coffee shops” quickly displays the nearest places you can go to for a cup of coffee.
