Did RIM Add Google Search To Your Browser?

May 8th, 2008 by Ronen Halevy

In OS 4.5 there is a new “Go To” menu option where you enter in web addresses. All of a sudden yesterday something new showed up on this screen after I installed the latest version of Google Talk (not sure if it is related).

RIM has added the ability to search Google, Wikipedia, & Dictionary.com! While it is not exactly the best execution it is very handy for a quick Google search. The problem is that the Google and Dictionary.com searches take you to the desktop versions of the site that do not look so good in the BlackBerry browser.

Check out what I am talking about below. I am not sure when it will come to your BlackBerry browser but it does show that RIM is open to the idea.
