Abstract
Techniques for augmenting or modifying ordered results include sending a search query to a location service, receiving ordered results responsive to the search query, and augmenting or modifying the search results based on user-specific information stored locally at a consumer computing device. The ordered results may be augmented by reordering a search result in the list of search results based on the user-specific information, and/or by graphically representing a location included in the ordered search results based on the user-specific information. The augmented search results may be presented on a display associated with the consumer computing device in a manner specific to a user of the consumer computing device.
