all know search is the best way to find news, concert clips, funny cat GIFs, but when it comes to local happenings, it can be hit or miss. But a new feature baked into ’s search tools on your phone is designed to fill up your social calendar.

In the latest update to the app on Android iOS (as well as anywhere else you can find a search bar on your phone), you should begin seeing a new interface for local events. For example, when you search for “concerts this weekend” you’ll see a new Events tab at the top of your search results. (https://bobbergdesigns.com/)

You’ll be able to quickly view events happening today, tomorrow, or next week, all presented in a calendar-style view that lets you easily see the date, time, location. Tapping “more events” will exp the view to see additional dates, you can tap again for more details or to buy tickets.

The new interface doesn’t seem to be live yet, but says it will respond to a variety of queries, including something as general as “events near me.” The results will largely be populated by popular sites like Eventbrite Meetup, but is also encouraging promoters to mark search terms as events to keep results varied current.

It’s unclear whether an update to the app will be needed to use the new events interface, but it should be rolling out to browsers on iOS Android shortly.

y this matters: use for just about everything, but unless it’s a major event, it’s not always the best way to find something to do in our neighborhood. th a new focus on local events, could become our go-to planning tool as well.
