Google wants to grab a share in Windows Phone 7 search market

Availing of the stir created by the launch of the new Microsoft’s OS for mobile phones Google decided to be among the first to release its app for Windows Phone 7. Meantime, Windows Phone 7 devices come with Bing as a default search engine.

Many observers believe that Google is unlikely to make great success with Windows Phone 7 as users often tend to apply the default. Even on PCs people use Google more out of their habit than out of preference over Bing.

"This initial release of the Google Search app includes several features that help you to search faster – suggestions appear automatically as you type, you can choose to repeat a query from your search history, and your current location is used to provide more relevant results," writes the Google Mobile Team.

The app is free, and is available for all Windows 7 devices and languages. It can be found in the Marketplace.
