Abstract: A system and method provide for geo-augmentation through virtual tagging. A search infrastructure supports creation, managing and searching geo-coded virtual tags using mobile communication devices. Associated geolocations are added to a geolocation database along with pointers to the stored content. Searching of the geolocation database is performed upon receiving geolocation search input, wherein the infrastructure applies the geolocation based search input to the search database yielding search results delivered from the mobile communications device for presentation to the user.
