Jailbreak Tweak Adds Local Search Support to Siri For Non-US iPhone 4S Users
One of Siri's most useful feature is its ability to give you information and the best options based on your location. Unfortunately, the Siri's local search feature is currently available only to US users.
We've some good news for international users. iPhone 4S users outside US no longer need to wait for Apple to add local search support for Siri - iPhone 4s' personal assistant feature.

So is this just something under the hood that needs enabled or does this involve proxys?

Just tried this out in wales, uk.. Couldnt find any nearby restaurants, ATM's and the nearest train station found was 17km away when really theres one down the road.. Not good
-
I have just tried it and I live in Denmark.It's crap. I have tried to ask about the weather, abouth the nearest McDonalds, pharmacy and so on. And not a single result worked so unless it get's updated to actually work it was $1 out the window.
-
Nope, it does not work. :/
-
Tried it and like others it takes me miles away to somewhere else but it's a great start and until apple get it sorted then we will have to be thankful for what these guys do in the mean time
-
Bought it nd tried it over te past 2 days. Worked perfectly found most things I asked to find. Keeps crashing on me when I include the word shop and resprings. Hopefully update will solve this. FYI I'm in Australia and its working great.

Maybe try google search app Siri is still junk
-
No you need assistant extensions. They will be installed with automatically with the tweak
-
Hey, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble, what exactly are you saying to Siri? Try saying something like , "Find the closest restaurant" and let me know if it works
-
Hi, the 1.1 update should fix the "shop" bug
-
If you look at your console there will be a URL logged every time you search for a location. Post it here and we can see if it's the Places framework that's at fault
-
Respect! Hats off to ya! It worked when I tried "find the closets gasstation" :o).Good job and thanks!
-
Am currently trying this out in London, a bit buggy but I am very impressed, no doubt it will be sorted out in time. Well done Zaid 'THANK YOU'
-
very sorry to ask this, but how do i do this/where do i find the logged url?? thanks alot for the response though, hats off to you!
-
actually, just tried it again and on all requests (restaurant, ATM & train station) it found 20 results which is fantastic, it missed a few ATM's around my location but not bothered.. only request is for Siri to understand stuff life 'find a restaurant near by' or 'are there any nice restaurants where i am' etc etc.. again hats off to you mate, this is fantastic to see & look forward to your updates

When I was 16 I was too busy masturbating and playing Atari to write code.
-
Tried it in Panama City, Panama. It works great. Waiting for support in other languages, Spanish and Italian, are we there yet?
-
hahahahhahaahah top comment!
-
It cant find anything , it was buggy on 1.1 and on 1.2 it doesn't work at all :(
-
What are you saying to Siri? And are you getting a "no results" message or a "I can't search for businesses in *country*"?
-
I'm sorry, but looking at the assistantextensions files, all this guy has done is taken the plugin here: http://hack.silentspark.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=95and converted it to assistanrextensions format.he could at least say who actually made the plugin instead of stealing credit. Doing something like this doesn't make you a hacker, just a thief.
-
well done man its work,Apple should have done this,Siri make no sense without local business information.Thanks one again
-
the restaurants searches are working well, but I'm having problems with train station and cashpoint / atm. Im using both "where is the nearest", and "where's the closest"any ideas?
