Recently Google announced the addition of the new ‘Nearby’ option that helps narrowing down search results based on location. This comes quite handy when searching for restaurants, historical and religious places, etc. around a particular area.

You can access the ‘Nearby’ feature using the ‘Search Options’. You need to enter the location and all the results will get narrowed down to that particular geographical location.

However, the ‘Nearby’ option is currently being shown only on Google.com domain and not on country specific domains like Google.co.in. So you can click the link below to force display the ‘Nearby’ option.

Though at times the results disappointed me, most of the times they were quite satisfying. You need to select the ‘City’, ‘Region’ and ‘State’ options appropriately as they all provide surprisingly varied results. Do check it out.
