More on geo location search:
Google search by location: "The other thing that's not obvious at first is that it's not just matching to categories--it's actually searching web pages with addresses for the words you type."

Google FAQ:
Google search by location: "Google search by location takes a new approach to helping users find geographic information on the web. We analyze the entire content of a page to extract hints or 'signals' that enable us to assign a corresponding physical location, then return results that match the geographic range you specify (e.g., 'near Jacksonville, Florida'). This provides a much broader range of businesses in most cases"
