Local Search Results

Google Local enables you to search for stores and businesses in a specific area. To get Google Local results, simply type in the business name and include a zip code or city and state in the search query. Your top 3 results will be Local results, followed by 10 ordinary Web results. If you click on any of the Local results, you can get maps and directions.

You can also get maps, driving directions and a full list of local results by selecting "Local" in the search options or going directly to http://mobile.google.com/local on your phone. Learn more.

Definitions

To see a definition for a word or phrase, simply type the word "define," then a space, and then the word(s) you want defined. If Google has seen a definition for that word or phrase anywhere on the Web, we'll display that information at the top of your results.

Spell Checker

Google checks whether your query is the most common version of a word's spelling. If we think a different spelling is likely to generate more relevant search results, we'll ask "Did you mean: (more common spelling)?" Clicking on the suggested spelling launches a Google search for that term. (Note: Google spell check works for proper nouns (names and places) that might not appear in standard spell-check programs or dictionary.

Movie Showtimes

To find showtimes for movies playing near you, type "movies", "showtimes" or the name of a current film, followed by the location.

Weather

To see weather conditions and a four-day forecast for a particular U.S. location, type "weather," followed by the location. A city name usually will be enough, but you may also want to include a state or zipcode.

Stock Quotes

To get live stock quotes and information, simply enter a ticker symbol. If we recognize the stock ticker you entered, we'll return the latest stock price (with a 15-minute delay for NASDAQ or a 20-minute delay for AMEX and NYSE) and other useful information.

When available, we'll also return quotes from an Electronic Communication Network (ECN), a computerized trading system that reports quotes in real time (Disclaimer). ECNs also allow trading after standard market hours and thus can be a good source for after-hours quotes.
