Google today tweaked its mobile search tools to help people find entertaining activities nearby. Specifically, performing searches for generic events will dial in an easy-to-digest summary of close-by activities from sites such as Eventbrite and Meetup. For example, Google suggests that searching for "concerts in New York" or "art shows this weekend" will result in simple, defined results with time, date, and location data all plainly available. The results will include links to purchase tickets, if necessary, as well as the original web sites hosting the event information. The new search tool understands timeframes, such as "today" or "next week," and will deliver locally relevant results. The new search tool is available to the Google Search mobile app as well as via Google.com on the mobile web.
