This update to the google search adds Google's Local search (http://local.google.com) to search for businesses and services near a given location. Sorry, it only works for addresses in the USA right now. For the sake of simplicity, I commandeered the /local switch and changed the Locale switch to /locale. Hopefully, this isn't too much of an incovenience for anyone accustomed to the original /local(e) switch. I have tested this search to my own satisfaction, but someone please double check my work before its checked into CVS.
