Google Makes Mobile Web Searching Faster

If you've got a Nokia phone, then Google wants to make your mobile web searching faster. Long-time users of Google know that it's already fast, which is one of the reasons why it's the dominant web search engine, so how do you improve on something that works well already? For Google, the answer is simple: make it more accessible.

From today, if you have an N-series or an E-series Nokia phone you can download a small search shortcut directly to your phone's homescreen. Once that shortcut is in place, you'll be able to bring up a Google search box (without opening your browser), type in a query and get straight to the results.

Since the shortcut removes the need to open a browser and tell it to go to Google.com, the amount of clicks and button presses are reduced. That also means less waiting for users. You can watch the video for a demonstration.
