It's true. My brother used it to track his phone to the point where the thief removed the sim and formatted the phone. You could access google dashboard for more options

Losing your phone is a nightmare.And things get worse when you know there is hardly any way to track it down. Well but if you are an Android user, then you are in for a pleasant surprise.
Google recently introduced a new feature which can track down any Android phone or tablet by simply using ‘Google Search’. Here’s how it works!

Step 1: Make sure you are using/share the same Google account on your PC and Android phone or tablet. (Even if you aren’t, it will prompt you once you type in ‘find my phone’ in the Google search bar.)

Step2: Now type in ‘find my phone’ in the Google Search bar. As soon as you hit enter, Google will start locating your phone on Google Maps. Give it a few seconds and your phone’s preciselocation will be right in front of you. It even shows how far it is from where you are sitting.

But what if your phone is under a pillow or stuck in a bed side. Well, for that, there’s an option called ‘Ring’ which will make your phone ring at maximum volume for over 5 minutes.

I tried the feature myself and it worked brilliantly.

So basically the person is making Google search? Just the way I search for every other thing.

Unfortunately, you can't use this it to lock or erase your device if stolen -- you will still need Android Device Manager to do that.

adewale2011:
if it can locate the phone under this condition then it making sense

1. locate a phone when it has been reset to factory setting and another Google account logged on it.

2. after filling condition 1, can be located without an internet connectivity on the phone to locate (when there no active data running on the phone to be located)

if it cant locate on this condition then google should not hype the tech.
i think number 1 point should be a priority and think the programmers should have thought about that too.

For 2, I still think twill need an interneet connection. You can always get to know where your phone has been by its last internet session. If google can work something out with local gsm operators, fine.
Re: Locate Lost Phone Using Google Search by tohpahz(f): 2:34pm On May 07, 2015
Kinda nice.. but what if the phone is switched off
Re: Locate Lost Phone Using Google Search by Lovexme(m): 2:42pm On May 07, 2015
Super cool.

One down side to it is your phone can't be located if it's switched off. embarassed
Re: Locate Lost Phone Using Google Search by Nobody: 2:58pm On May 07, 2015
what if the phone is switched off or not connected to network? or even the thief changes the google email address registered on the phone? any hopes?
