9. Search

Windows Phone 7 puts a wealth of content at your fingertips. In this chapter, you will learn how to track down whatever it is that you are looking for—whether it is stored on your phone or on the Internet.

Although it might seem a bit unusual for a phone, Windows Phone 7.5 devices can accumulate a lot of data. Many devices include up to 16GB of storage, which can be used for storing apps, messages, photos, videos, music, maps, Microsoft Office documents, and more. The built-in search function can make it easy to locate specific items regardless of how much data your phone accumulates. The phone is also designed to perform Internet searches when appropriate and can even take your location into account when compiling the search results. This chapter discusses all the different ways that you can use the phone’s built-in search feature.
