Nokia have announced an update to their excellent Mobile Search application. Local search support has been added for Denmark, France, Italy, Norway and Spain (in addition to the UK, Finland and Sweden). Nokia Mobile Search is available as a free download for both 2nd and 3rd Edition phones.

Nokia Mobile Search can be used to search the web, search for images and perform local searches. 

You can read our original overview of Nokia Mobile Search here.

"In tests that I ran I found that doing a search was approximately three times quicker using Mobile Search (open Mobile Search, perform search, and view results) than it was using the Web application (open Web, access and load Yahoo Mobile Bookmark, perform search, and view results). Local searches have a greater time saving, especially if you use the mapping functionality."

Carry out a search, viewing the search results list and the detailed information view.
