Google has refreshed the way search results display on the iPhone. Google is doing its best to provide results that are as comprehensive as any desktop would provide, but better presented for the iPhone's user interface.The update goes live today for iPhone users in the United States who have installed firmware 2.0 and higher. Google says, "Results are formatted to be neatly displayed on the mobile screen, so there's no need to scroll side to side. Local search results now include easier-to-press 'Get Directions' and click-to-call links."

Google also has added maps as the default view if there is only one relevant search result returned. You also can click on a "Show Map" link if there is more than one listing.

Lastly, in what is perhaps an olive branch to Google users, Google says, "For those of you wanting to access the classic desktop search results format, it's only a click away, with the 'Classic' link near the bottom of each page."

It's possible Google is offering the "Classic" view in the wake of the uproar over its recent changes to iGoogle. Many iGoogle users were furious over the automatic switch over to the new user interface.

Google will update the search function in other countries and other languages over time.
