Windows phone 7, google launches an application with its search engine for windows phone 7

The courteous does not take away the bravery. This popular saying can be applied to the presence of a Google search application in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. Despite the fact that Microsoft's mobile platform has its own search service, Bing, those in Redmond know that when it comes to technology, it is difficult to stick to a single option. That is why they have shown a wide sleeve by letting those from Mountain View publish a utility to centralize the search engine service from this young operating system for smartphones.

The Google search application for Windows Phone 7, as in the case of the one published for iPhone, is completely free. At the moment, it is only available in English, so if you already have a mobile with WP7 and you are interested in using the most popular search engine on the web, just enter the Marketplace and type "Google Search".

What is strangest about the Google Search application is that it lacks one of the search-related services that is getting the most hype about the search engine: the predictive system.

Although it is already operational on iPhone and Android, Windows Phone 7 does not support the Google Instant function, according to which the search engine itself suggests entries with just a few written characters of the search terms. For those who feel comfortable with this system, they will have to wait for a future update.

One of the points that this web search application with Google has not missed is the service of alerts for geolocation in the results. In other words, searches can be ordered by relevance based on the user's geographic location, so that if, for example, you enter “Japanese restaurant”, the application will offer the first links that relate the desired information to the proximity of the establishments that link to the keywords that have been used.
