Google wants to make local information easier to find with Place Search

Google is making another move to give consumers quick access to information about local places by rolling out Place Search, which clusters search results around specific locations.

The idea is to give consumers a quick and comprehensive view of a place in one search, instead of having to perform eight to 10 searches to get the same information. The new feature, which is rolling out over the next few days, is part of a major push for Google to give consumers faster, easier ways to find local information and to give advertisers better ways to reach them.
