June 12, 2007
This afternoon we released a Local Search Control for the Google Maps API. If you already have a Google Maps application, extending it to support local search doesn't get any easier:

As always, let us know what you think in the Google AJAX API developer forum.
- Include a reference to the AJAX Search API
- Include a reference to the Local Search Control
- Call
map.addControl(new google.maps.LocalSearch());
