Simple Google Ajax LocalSearch example

gistfile1.js

// Run the code below after you loaded the API with your key, though a separate file
// or straight onto the body of the document.

(function() {
  google.load('search', '1');

  function loaded() {
    window.localsearch = new google.search.LocalSearch();
  };

  google.setOnLoadCallback(loaded);
})();

// Check via a console (you're on Firefox + Firebug/Safari/Chrome right?), like so:
//
// localsearch.execute('Cabana Bar Sydney')
// 
// The above will return a results object you can iterate through.
// Also, it seems to be important that the scope where you run google.load should be
// [object Window]. Anywhere else I tried, it would sit there loading something
// indefinitely.
