The google search is
getting so complicated... Now, there's local.google.com, to search for "local"
businesses and services. Unfortunately, the "gg" search already has the "/local"
switch in use. It doesn't do much; it just limits results to a separately
specified locale or location. My first guess was to change the current "/local"
switch to "/locale", but that would make it deficult to abbreviate the switches.
My second guess was to change the "/local" switch to "/force_local". That way,
you could specify "gg /canada /force_local", or abbreviate it as "gg /ca /fo".
Then "/local" would be free to use on the new search; for
example, "gg Coffee Shop /local New York, NY". That seems the most intuitve, but
it sure breaks backward compatibility. So, how are we going to add
local.google.com to DQSD?
