Microsoft will provide "advanced search results for web search, as well as quick and easy access to information such as stock quotes, movie times, and common facts via Encarta Instant Answers." However access to Instant Answers will not be available in all regions.

Nokia claims that Mobile Search "allows users to find search results more quickly than by using the browser and finding the web page of an Internet search provider, since in many cases search will be accessible directly from the menu screen."

The Mobile Search application is expected to be available in select markets in the standard sales packs of the Nokia N80 Internet Edition, Nokia N73, Nokia N93, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, and Nokia 6681. It is also offered as a free download for select Nokia S60 devices from www.nokia.com/mobilesearch.
