Ever do a search on a desktop computer and then repeat the same search again later from a mobile phone? Wish it was not necessary to retype the same search terms over and over again?

Google has launched Personalized Suggest for Android, iPhone and Palm WebOS phones. Now consumers will not have to remember the search query that gave the best results.

?We estimate that about a quarter of all signed-in searches are repeats from the past month,? said Jonathan Effrat, David Kadouch and Matt Kulick, product managers of Google, Mountainview, CA, in a blog post.

Now, if users are signed in with their Google account and have the Web History feature enabled, Google will show relevant past searches as the user types on their mobile phone.

Personalized suggestions will make it easier and faster for mobile consumers to repeat searches that have worked before. Or, if they need to stop in the middle of a search task, this will help continue the search tasks at a later time.

For example, suppose that before a consumer departs for the airport, he or she quickly checks their flight status by searching for "american airlines 19" using Google.com on their mobile phone.

Later, as the user is hailing a taxi in rush-hour traffic, he or she can open Google.com on their phone, click in the search box, and choose "american airlines 19" from the list of search suggestions.

?To try this yourself, make sure that you are signed-in to the same Google Account on your computer and on your phone when searching,? said Toshi Tajima, software engineer on Google?s mobile team in a blog post.

?In addition, Web History needs to be enabled for your Google Account,? he said. ?Mobile users can turn on/off history by selecting ?Save searches? or ?Do not save searches? under Settings on Google.com.?

The mobile search team is always looking for new ways to make searching the world as easy and useful as searching the Web.

That is precisely why Google has introduced a redesigned local search experience for mobile that integrates with Google Maps on consumers? computers and includes browseable categories that let people search without typing.

?Let me tell you how I used these features on my recent vacation to Hawaii,? said Joshua Siegel, product manager for Google?s mobile local search team in his blog post.

?Before I left, I researched places to visit on Google Maps,? he said. ?I signed in to my Google account and starred the places I wanted to go. Once I got to Hawaii, by signing in on my phone, I was able to see the places I starred on desktop Maps under ?Starred Places.?

?I could then click through on place names to visit mobile-optimized versions of Place Pages for Google Maps that include opening hours, reviews, photos, and more.?
