What Exit: Google’s Location Search

I’m starting to find the beta of Google’s Location Search to be very handy and much faster than using my old stand-by.

Doc has even noticed that you can find local hot-spots in your area via the tool.

If addition, I found a neat little trick to add a localized link to your favorites or “bookmarklet” for quick access.

Go to Google’s Location Search page, enter your address into the address field with nothing in the search terms area, then click search.

The resulting page will be a customize search page for your area. Simply add this link to your favorites or drag it to your links bar.

Now if Google’s Location Search could only find my keys, I’d be a happy camper.

On second thought, finding lost objects isn’t so far-fetched with the proliferation of RFID’s and localized search… hmm …
