Quick Web App Update: Google Adds Options to iPhone Search
Search Google.com from your iPhone (or Android or webOS device) and notice the brand-spanking new Options drop-down on the top right. Tap it a list Google's Mobile Blog says:
Finding the exact information you need sometimes requires filtering and refining your search results. Earlier in the year, we launched a collection of tools called Search Options which enable you to easily and quickly do this from a computer. Today in the US, we are making Search Options available on Android/iPhone/Palm WebOS devices so that you can slice and dice your mobile search results as well. For example, suppose you are shopping at a store for a camera, and you would like to see what users have been saying about a specific model within the past week. You can do this simply by searching for the name of the product. Then, on the search results page, use "Options" to filter by "Forums" and refine further by choosing "Past week".
Let us know how it works for you...

Google has been working very poorly for me since this change. When I click "Images" or the new "Options" tab nothing happens. There's a link at the bottom that allows you to view picture results and when I click that, it takes me to the page that the images are supposed to be displayed, only no images show up. I tried using Bing instead, but that's a whole hot mess all in itself.
Great and timely story.
Just when the story below is filled with devs bemoaning the inability to get recognition, Google comes thru again.
Devs: Google adwords are really a cheap way to drive business to your site. Try it out.
