OldSearch - Fill in the gaps not covered with Universal Search - We have 50 copies to give away!

By Zach Gilbert on 25 Feb 2012 12:45 am

With BlackBerry 6 RIM introduced a new way to search your device called Universal Search. We had the option to use our voice or text to do the heavy lifting. While it has filled a void that BlackBerry users have experienced for some time, there are still improvements to be had. OldSearch from QuiteSimple apps aims to step in and give you some of those improvements by offering the ability to search not only fields in a contact but also your tasks, calendar and email which extends the functionality of the built in search on your BlackBerry.

Features:

Full integration with Universal Search - just type the keyword and click on OldSearch icon to get the search results
Search in Memo body, Task Body, Calendar note, Contacts note
Extended Contacts search - search in address, emails, job title, phones and all other fields (now you can easily find all your contacts who live in Texas for example)
Message search (subject, body, to/from fields)
Adjust and limit search categories in Options
OS7.0 support

OldSearch is now available in BlackBerry App World for $2.99, which is a steal for the amount of time you’ll save using it. But this wouldn’t be CrackBerry if we didn’t have a giveaway in store.

Contest: We’ve teamed up with QuiteSimple apps to hold a contest for 50 copies of their new search application. All you need to do is leave a comment below and you’re well on your way to searching faster and more efficiently with your BlackBerry. Contest ends Sunday at midnight.

MADBRADNYC Feb 25, 2012 at 3:05 am

Yes! I have wanted to be able to search my contact notes and memos but had no way of doing it. This would help me be much more productive. I hope this developer could eventually add the search function for error logs. That would be the icing on the cake!

PiotrJot Feb 25, 2012 at 3:14 am

Hey guys!
I'll receive my first Blackberry by mail on Monday (a Curve 9360) and I'm pretty excited about it!
I'd love to use this app to have a proper universial search ("the way it's meant to be") through this app then - thanks! I might just buy it as well though I have to admit. ^^
