Google text message search tool

If any of you have learned how to use the text messaging search tool from Google, you'll probably agree it's pretty useful when you need it. For those of you not familiar with it, here goes:

1. You text google by entering "google"(466453) in the phone number field.
2. Then enter a search term. For example, if you want to define "latitude", you enter "define latitude".
3. Hit send and in a couple seconds, Google sends you a text with the top search result. In the above example, it sends you the top online dictionary definition for that word.

This works for other searches too. This weekend I wanted to call up the nearest Kohls store to find out how late they were open and I was out on a date with my wife at the time. So I texted google for "Kohls, Wheaton IL" and it returned the address & phone # of the Wheaton store and nearby Kohls stores. Exactly what I needed. Thanks Google. Try it and share how useful it was for you.
