Microsoft Updates Windows Live Mobile Search

The most popular destinations on the Internet are search engines, and on mobile devices this is becoming increasingly important as mobile search engines integrate more than web sites into their offerings. Windows Live Mobile Search is a popular option for giving relevant content quickly.

Microsoft has recently released version 2 of the client application for Windows Mobile, as well as a major update to the version designed to run in mobile browsers of all kinds.

For Windows Mobile

Mobile Search Version 2 includes the addition of movie showtimes, directions, maps, and more local content. Support for GPS integration, improved turn-by-turn navigation, and better storage card utilization round out some of the major feature enhancements.

To download Windows Live Mobile Search Version 2 for free, visit http://wls.live.com using a Windows Mobile wireless device.

For Any Mobile Browser

The browser-based version of Mobile Search features a single search box into which users can type what and where they are looking for, and the service will return the most relevant results from different categories: Instant Answers, Local, Web, Images, News, and Spaces.

To start using this service with virtually any phone that includes a web browser, visit http://m.live.com/. No download is required.
