It wouldn't be a mobile platform if it didn't have a dedicated Google search app, and this week the Big G ratified Windows Phone 7's competitive existence with a search app of its own--Google Search for Windows Phone 7.
Like others, Google Search uses the phone's GPS to localize searches (on the Samsung Focus, in this case). It hands out search suggestions as you type, but only if you type slowly, we found. It also keeps track of your previous searches, a boon for anyone hoping to bypass typing and repeat a search. Results appear in a browser window, which provides access to image, local, and news results as well as the Web findings.
