iSearch – a web search launcher for S60 5th Edition

iSearch - a web search launcher for S60 5th Edition

The iSearch widget is inspired by Russell Beattie’s Q Search widget. Russell made his with 30 lines of code – I used a bit more. iSearch widget has a touch friendly UI and there are currently 8 search options/engines to choose from. The widget is free but if you like it please consider making a donation.

WHAT DOES IT DO AND HOW?

iSearch speeds up the task of searching for stuff on the mighty Internet. Type a word to search for and click the service of your choice and the widget launches the phone’s browser and loads the result. The widget remembers the last thing that you searched for and displays it in the text box when you start the widget next time.

TIP! To make searching even faster you can set one of the services as default so that when you hit the ‘Enter’ key on the keyboard the widget launches the search right away. You set the default by clicking the ‘Enter’ symbol on the right end of the buttons.

    Have you thought about having searches open in an alternative browser like Opera mobile or mini?

    I hardly use the default web browser, I almost always use Opera Mobile and I prefer it much more.

      That’s really an option for the operating system – it should allow you to choose a default browser and launch it whenever a browser needs to be launched. Good idea though ;)
