Keep in mind that this ultimately plugs into mobile search

That's my problem , the two types of search experience priorities that need to behave differently in e commerce are :

- mobile - search and dial the business
- desktop - search and interact with the business' website

If you force folks onto their phones , Google may loose the desktop business. If you give users a local experience , they are better off using their phones and ultimately they don't need Google for that.

Trying to merge the two perplexes me - but Google has a bunch of multi PHD guru's working on this and I'm not so we'll see.

I would think meta search engines in travel and hotels would be up for elimination, especially with acquistion plans of a major data aggregation service recently. I'm seeing prices creeping into the displays. Anyone else seeing this ?
