Google allows wireless users to search for movie information

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-Google Inc. has rolled out a movie-search service for wireless subscribers, allowing users to access showtimes and theater locations and phone numbers via handsets.

The offering expands on the Internet portal’s local short message service search service, which was launched late last year. Users can send queries such as “movie” and their ZIP codes to the short code 46645 (GOOGL) and receive local film information including genre, rating and a brief review.
