So if you are looking for a restaurant in the vicinity, you may or Zagat or Yelp and Urbanspoon research. And then you can run each in turn.

@ Addiction to do this specialized research easy. It separates applications into categories such as @ shopping @ messages and @ music. So if you start typing "Hamburger" in Ne @ 's search box, it offers a search for "cooking @ hamburgers and @ Hamburger restaurants."

In practice it is very convenient, especially for something like a music artists such as Lyle Lovett, or someone more obscure. @ Do you have shows related to the results, whether YouTube videos, results iTunes MP3 files that you a radio station Pandora, a slidehow images, applications, buy, and other music like SoundCloud and song kick. Research is on your connection to that server @ ', then send the requests to the real "applications" and puts the user who may be a bit slow, are based - but it is difficult to say if there is only one function of the scaling issues first day or the AT & T 3G in San Francisco. Whatever, it's a very clever approach, and one can see easily do the body such as the default search box on a mobile device.
