"Google said on Tuesday that iPad users in the U.S. will be treated to a new interactive experience when they search for restaurants, bars or other locales.\nThe search engine giant has added a horizontal \"carousel\" to its iPad platform of local results at the top of the search page. When searching for \"ramen shops,\" the search engine pulls in your geographic location and populates the carousel with pictures of restaurants in that genre. This is designed with the touchscreen iPad in mind, allowing users to easily swipe through results.\nHere's a picture of how it looks when doing a search for \"ramen shops\" in New York City.\n\nIn addition to showcasing pictures, it also includes a Google map to the business' location when the image is selected. Additional information such as reviews also pop up.\nThe move is a part of Google's greater effort to make search results more localized and ultimately, more personalized for users.\nThe iPad update, which announced the news on its Google+ page, is only for English-speaking users as of right now.\nImage via iStockphoto, BartCo"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
