Berry 411 searches for weather and directions to an address
Here are two new search features in Berry 411 based on direct end user request (the end user in this case being me.)
1. Get driving directions to a specific address by searching for the address in yellow pages (e.g. “206 1st Ave S, Seattle WA”).
2. Get local weather by searching Google for “weather”.
The following features have been around for a while but most people don’t know them.
3. Override the default location by adding a new location to the query string (e.g. “Pizza, New York”)
4. Search wikipedia by using the link at the top of Google results or by searching for “wk phrase”.

Any chance “Reverse Lookup” can be enabled on Berry 411?
For example, I get a number on my caller id that is unknown to me, and no voice mail is left. Quickly after that, I go into Berry411 “Reverse Lookup” feature and type the number (or better yet, a link on the caller id list screen menu that does the “reverse lookup” on the number) and I’m able to know whose number that is.
I currently do that everytime I get an unknown number, but going to my laptop and whitepages.com, typing the number and in most cases I’m able to get the person’s/company’s information.
Think about that! In my humble opinion, it would be a nice little feature to Berry411. :)
Thanks,
Charlie
