Now Google has made it possible to search the Internet on your mobile phone even if it is not web enabled. Google has introduced this service with all the major GSM and CDMA operators in India. The company announced the launch of this service on Wednesday.

The usage of the service is very simple. The user sends a normal text SMS to 9-77-33-00000 in plain text as if he is using the Google search engine. You could be searching anything like cricket scores, stock updates, Indian Railways train schedules, PNR (train ticket) status, horoscopes, movie show-times etc. The search engine will fetch the data and send you an SMS. The service also acts as yellow pages and runs applications like the calculator and currency converter. Local search is one of the main utilities.

A spokesperson for Google India said “No longer do you need to remember complicated strings to put before your query, you can search as if you are searching on Google web search – we will do all the hard work to understand your query and give you the best results on SMS,”
