KML is the XML file format people use to create overlays to enhance
the geographic imagery with a vast array of detailed information. For
instance, open up Google Earth, type in a query like [lord of the
rings], and the results from the web (in KML files) for your query
will appear in a folder below the local results as placemarks. The
placemarks are based on the area in your view, so searching for [lord
of the rings] while you're viewing South Africa will get you no
results - but when you're viewing New Zealand, the same query will
show you top 10 placemarks (green icons) from the region and by
clicking on "see more" you can find tons more placemarks. With the
latest version, you can search across all of the KML available on the
web using either keywords or geographic locations. Our users have
created millions of KML files, so start searching today.
