Google search pages see optimizations

Google seems determined to offer mobile phone users the possibility to enjoy its services in the best way possible and, as such, it brings more and more optimizations to its solutions. One of the latest improvements that the company has brought to the mobile world is the availability of its enhanced Google Search result pages in 60 countries and 38 languages.

The new optimized search result pages were brought to light for the first time back in December, when they were made available for iPhone and Android-based mobile phones in the US. While the format was extended to more countries in March, and a new experience was released for feature phones in the US and in Japan, the Google team announced recently that all mobile phones could benefit from it in the aforementioned languages.

Moreover, it seems that the new format is not exclusively available only for smartphones; feature phones that have access to mobile Internet can also enjoy it. The new mobile-optimized Google Search result pages will come to the devices almost everywhere around the globe; all that users will have to do is access Google on their handsets.

According to the Google team, the new format also comes forth with improved support for the universal search results that most users should already know from their desktop computers. Here is what the team says: “when available, News, Images, Blog, Video and Product Search results are blended right into your result page.”

At the same time, favorite Google Search features will appear in the first result so that users will enjoy direct answers to their searches. Also worth mentioning is the fact that future enhancements are expected to surface as well, including local listings for different places, such as restaurants. International users have now the possibility to use Google while on the go, and we're also curious to learn what other features will become available in the future.
