Searching with Google on your Windows Phone 7 device just got easier. The Google Search app for Windows Phone 7 provides quick and convenient access to a rich set of search results, allowing you to search the web, images, local, news, and more. This initial release of the Google Search app includes several features to help you search faster: suggestions appear automatically as you type, you can choose to repeat a query from your search history, and your current location is used to provide more relevant results.
The Google Search app is a free download for all Windows Phone 7 devices and languages. Just search the Marketplace for ‘Google Search’, download, pin to Start, and the power of Google Search is only a click away.
Thats the word from Jon Skeet and Nick Radicevic on the Google Mobile team. The app landed yesterday, the same day WP7 phones went on sale in the US on AT&T and T-Mobile, so Google is sitting right there in the Marketplace of a Microsoft phone!! Fortune also notes the suggestions as you type is something Microsofts own Bing app for Android doesnt do. And if you cant find it straight away you are not alone, one commenter on the Google post eventually dug it up under Tools/Free. Let us know how it works for you.
