The new search service also remembers a user's recent search locations to ensure relevant local results appear in subsequent searches.
"We're excited to introduce Google's new mobile search service, which will make it easier and faster for people to find what they're looking for anytime, anywhere," said Google group product manager Carl Sjogreen. "With millions of mobile phones in use in Australia, our goal is to make the Google search experience even more useful and relevant for users on the go."
Google has partnerships with a number of mobile operators including Hutchison, Optus and Vodafone to make Google search available in their specific mobile environments.
Google's new mobile search service can be found at www.google.com.au/m. It joins Google's suite of other products available to mobile users in Australia: Google Maps with My Location (beta), GMail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google News and Picasa.
