Google revises searches to go more local

Google made some changes its search results.  You can search for something like “restaurant” in a standard Google search and you will get local results.  You don’t have to include a location because Google figures it out via your IP address.  If Google gets it wrong, you can just hit the “Change location” link. 

Changing locations is pretty simple.  One click and a new field takes the place of the local results without reloading the page.  You can have Google remember the location via a check box. 

If you want, you can still search as normal with other locations.  That’s a pretty handy feature.  Google just gets more and more powerful.
