Google Launches Google Mobile Web and Image Search

June 17th 2005 | General

Google has launched a mobile version of its search engine built specifically for cell phones and mobile devices. Google Mobile, an index of sites which have been designed for mobile users, offers Web Search and Image Search with access to over 8 billion pages and a billion images.

GoogleBlog - Since millions of people across the globe already use mobile phones like there’s no tomorrow, we’re launching Mobile Web Search in many languages. Try it the next time you visit Google on your mobile phone - you’ll see a new option to search the Mobile Web. How different is it than standard web search? There are sites out there that have already been designed for your mobile phone, which makes them more navigable on the small screen. So we’ve created an index specifically for these sites. And so your phone can now be that much more useful.

Google Mobile - Use Google WebSearch on your phone or mobile device to search through 8 billion pages. While on the go, use the Web to find ingredients for a recipe, answer a trivia question to prove that you’re right or find facts on your favorite sports team.

Google WebSearch on your mobile device:
1. Access the mobile Web browser on your phone or mobile device.
2. Type www.google.com in the URL field (if you get an error message, type www.google.com/xhtml*).
3. Type your search query.
4. Highlight the "Google Search" button and press "Enter."
5. Ten search results will appear per page.
* Select the desired link by scrolling through the results page
* Or scroll down to the bottom of the page, select the "Next" link to view the next ten results
6. Once you have selected a link Google will reformat the selected webpage to fit your phone screen.
