AOL Improves Mobile SearchGreg Sterling has improved its mobile search feature, especially for Windows Mobile devices.

“In the latest version, there are two kinds of search modes:

  1. an enhanced Windows Mobile experience, and
  2. a non-Windows Mobile version, which is also improved albeit with a slightly different presentation.
