Google is introducing some new tweaks to their search features which should, if they haven’t already, work their way into your search optimization plans.

1. More localized search results – in particular for mobile users using map results. If you’re a restaurant or other business that relies heavily on local traffic this could make or break it for you in 2010.

2. Photo search – instead of typing in a search phrase you take a photo. It’s image search in reverse e.g. take a photo of a product at a shop and Google Visual Search will produce a list of prices and reviews. I think this is pretty cool myself.

3. Real Time Google Search – See blog Fruition’s posts over the last few days about Google Twitter results.

4. Google Favorite Places – it’s a phone based short cut to provide Google reviews or get coupons on a pre existing Google local business listing.
