If you've ever searched for local shops on your iPhone or Android-based smartphone, but only wanted to show business that are still open, now you can. Google has rolled out its 'open now' feature for US-based local business search for mobile. It essentially allows you to filter by shop opening hours, showing you only the results that list the store as still being open at the time. A handy feature if you've ever been stuck without a gift after closing time, or in desperate need of Pizza at 2am.Google's also been steadily rolling out some other desktop-like improvements to its mobile local search including filtering by ratings or distance, plus the addition of photos and reviews from around the Web.
To check out all the improvements Google's been making on the mobile search side, just plug Google.com into your mobile browser and hit the 'Places' link.
