Google Adds Movie Trailers to Search

Always endeavoring to expand the utility of its search engine, Google on Friday rolled out a new feature for movie seekers: trailers. Users can enter the film title and their zip code or city name to see nearby showtimes, critics' reviews and a link to the movie's trailer.

Trailers are hosted on Google Video, and if the theater has ticketing through Fandango, Google will also include links to purchase tickets. The addition follows a "movie:" operator Google added last year to its search, which brings up organized reviews of a flick from across the Web and calculates a film's combined rating.
