Want newer results when you search Google from your smartphone? Want more or fewer pictures in your results page? Google's recently begun showing Search Options to a number of smartphone users.

Like its desktop counterpart, Search Options lets you restrict search results to recent time frames, tweak how many non-text results crop up, and perform specialty searches, in this case for forum posts and review sites. There aren't as many options as on a full-sized browser, and the Options menu is similarly tucked away, on the right-hand side in this version.

Still, the reviews search seems useful for browsing what's gotten good notice around you, when combined with mobile location, at least. Search Options should show up on iPhone, Android, and Palm WebOS phones; Windows Mobile and BlackBerry users might have to wait a bit.
