The number is 466453. If you weren't so busy trying to astroturf chacha, you might have mentioned that. Google has an SMS shortcode for sending queries and receiving results. The number is 466453.

I also don't see how its helpful to have the thing fill in the word for you, sounds like T9 which nobody uses anymore cuz its a pain. The voice feature of ChaCha is something that might actually be headed in the right direction for this problem.. or fighting america's obesity so nobody has fat fingers.

They have a voice service too, call an 800 number, ask your question and they text the answer. No voice recognition or keyboards necessary.

Desktop internet doesn't translate into mobile search. Here's a different type of solution, try a service like ChaCha. It's conversational so tubby fingers and typos don't matter. There are no dwlds, no keywords, no apps, you don't even have to have internet capability on your phone. But, if you do have internet (whether its android or iPhone or any smartphone) they also send you a link to the source. Problem solved, your welcome.
