Google Adds Search Nearby Option

Google has added the ability to refine your searches with the "Nearby" tool in the Google Search Options panel.

One of the really helpful things about this tool is that it works geographically — not just with keywords — so you don't have to worry about adding "Minneapolis" to your query and missing webpages that only say "St. Paul" or "Twin Cities." Check it out by doing a search, clicking on "show options" and selecting "Nearby."

You can choose to see results nearby either your default location or a custom location, and you can narrow down to results at the city, region or state level.
