Google Launches New Mobile Search UI

2011-06-14
they give you instant access into local queries so let's see how hard it is for Steve 10 or our lunch query very just did it pretty easy better that queries and its query more than just the word restaurants of course we've also passed your location what we see now is our new search interface firm for mobile local searches again launching today and you see at the top we have a map that shows the cluster of restaurants around here and the blue dot is us so again trying to make it easy to see what you're probably looking for this query estate begins to scroll through the results you'll see that the map actually changes in place they give me the context of where each restaurant is in relation to me mind you see the listing listed some other information about the restaurant and let's pick this restaurant here this team taps through I want to point out how quickly that result came up on the screen to give me more information about this particular restaurant and that happened because we're using Ajax and the power of the modern browsers on these devices to make sure they're all the information that user might lead as they go through these local results is available right away so there's a local example easy to enter that very easy to consume just the kinds of information that I want from so hence let's do a simple search task they do all the lunch i'll go gray that i do a lot want to see how the markets doing so let's do it S&P by so let's see how hard this one is there steve enterance ass and boom so what happened there Steve only had to take one character and he got the Prairie that that we were looking for what happened there is that we notice the Wow app that people do do repeated queries on going through the day they are doing things like checking the market checking sports scores those kinds of things and so what we have done is to integrate security suggestions from your history with our normal kinds of query suggestions and so Wednesday pipe desk because in my history I have the sp500 query that's what came up with Google Winston on mobiles they didn't even have to hit return and the bills came off but the real reason I wanted to do this for it was to point out the results here steam to scroll a little dazed see that of course we have all the usual kinds of results you can drill into any of these but for this kind of query with strong intent we've returned to the top here and interactive winded basically that gives me the information that probably i'm looking for about is even the tap examples you can go and we'll get a little this index has been doing would be here if he slides I will see some news for the for the index market overview and some other things this is something we want back and Mark trying to make again this kind of strong intent query very easy to consume information thank you so we've done a local one we've done a simple one let's do a little more complicated search and for this one off to set this up this way I have a feeling that I'm going to make a trip to Russia soon the reason is well we're backstage amin mention to me that if the demos don't go well is sending me to Siberia so I think it's going pretty well so I'm hoping that he's only going to send me to our Moscow office and I'm going to need a hotel so let's do a blu hotel Moscow Russia let's see what happens with it Steve starts to enter this he types age I not surprisingly the whole weary Hilton Hotel Moscow Russia more pop three things but notice that alongside we added these pluses this is again as a new feature launching today something that we've had in the Android search widget at the iphone search out for a while now we call it a query building so what he can do is tap on the plus and he goes to the next a piece of appearing get suggestions from there so he's done he'll hotels he types mls and there's so much so we counted this query has 26 characters it seemed it actually 8 apps to enter that great so we did making it easy to enter these more complicated structures let's do one more like that volim in Moscow I'm going to want to hopefully get a chance to do some sightseeing so let's do Moscow top attractions so against he's going to use the clerk the query builder to build this query ok so there it is what i wanted to point out about this square is probably like this you get a lot of different kinds of results and the textual snippets are trying to help me i choose what I want but what's team can do here is to actually tap on the spyglass icon that's all on the side this again is something we launched a couple months ago and what this does is take me instantly into a visual search mode where what we're seeing here is previews screenshots of each of the results and so by looking at those I can see what kind of result it is and so SD skulls long this is the kind i was really looking for something with you pictures of all the interactions and little descriptions of each one and so then of course you did have to get out so for these more complicated queries we use the query builder to make it easier to enter your query and then things like this feature which we call mobile Instant Previews to make it easy to use the results and get Oh
