Talking Hey, this is cool!

Have you tried Google's new search feature yet?

Go to Google Local and enter a city. Then enter something that you want to search for and it will give you the top choices in that particular category.

Here is an example that I just tried. I entered Washington, D.C. as the city and then I entered a particular category that I was searching for and Google gave me the top choices and their locations on the map.

It's amazing how accurate their top three picks are: http://www.google.com/local?sc=1&hl=...le+Search&rl=1

The example Google gave was to do a search for a category like "pizza" in a particular city but I figured what the heck, let's see what happens if I get creative and enter something else.

Looks like they can take their new feature out of "Beta".

I was wondering why a certain word was dominating in those searches...
Thanks for clearing that up, George.
