I had an experience similar to the one posted by Shashikant – even apparently easier search terms did not deliver good results. But why is Google SMS Search significantly divorced from their web based local search.

Tried the following queries and all I got was an apology (in duplicate) saying it didn’t match anything.

yellow chilli pune
mainland china pune
aundh pune restaurant
aundh italian food

I get all the right results when tried the same queries on google local.

But, I suppose it will be useful when the results are same as the ones on google local. Sometimes, firing up browser on mobile is too cumbersome.
