SearchIt

SearchIt by Shaosoft was just to version 1.44 adding many new features. If you have not heard of SearchIt, it is a pop up application that gives you quick search access to many popular sites including custom user defined websites - great for Verizon users who don't want to be stuck with only Bing! New features in this version include:

  • Opera Mini 5 and Bolt Browser support
  • Live suggestions that pop up as you type your search
  • Recent searches are saved and can be accessed by pressing enter in blank search field
  • Option to configure menu button
  • Paste function: Press space 3 times
  • New sites added
  • 2nd custom site spot added
  • Text selection menu option added: Highlight text in another app, press menu button, and select SearchIt. Text will automatically be put into the search bar.

SearchIt is now on sale for $2.49 until January 23rd at the CrackBerry App Store, and is available for all devices running OS 4.2. The application is great for anyone who would like to search specifc websites easily, and for people on Verizon who are of course stuck with Bing as their only search option. You can find a full introduction to the application here.

That very search feature is part of quick launch 2.18

You're right, but this is easier to cycle through the various engines (not to mention, eliminating the ones you don't use). And the biggest feature for me is the custom searches

it would be nice to remove bing. :)

...This would make an excellent homescreen widget. It could be there at all times.

Posted by Obi Monday, Jan 18, 2010 859 days ago

Go into your software account on CB

I agree, this would be cool as a widget, like what is available on the nexus one theme. or at lease have a launch key on the keypad.

 
 
Posted by six4seven Monday, Jan 18, 2010 859 days ago

I'll wait for the update when you make it into a widget, cuz we all know there is no more room on the homescreen for another icon!

You "don'" have to use Bing anymore huh?

 
 
Posted by DavidNC Tuesday, Jan 19, 2010 859 days ago

Does anyone know what Theme and wallpaper this is? I am more interested in the theme since it looks awesome!

 
 
Posted by Michael Hepples Monday, Jan 18, 2010 859 days ago

Stock theme for 9700. If you want the wallpaper, email obi@crackberry.com

This is awesome...seriously, you get SO many different search options with the ease of BB button! It rocks, just updated to this version, fantastic!!

It's messing up my Storm 2 homescreen while it's showing there. Is there some way to fix that? Maybe make the dialog big enough so that you can't see the desktop?

 
 
Posted by six4seven Tuesday, Jan 19, 2010 859 days ago

I just dl'd the trial. very cool app!

Can you make the fonts a little smaller? also adding a hot key would be great!

Definitely worth the buy!

A few weeks back, Kevin first gave us the news of the upcoming Opera Mini 4.1 beta release while he was at CTIA. Like most of you, I was salivating and awaiting for its release. Well, it didn’t take long and I was one of the incalculable happy users enjoying a new application on his/her BlackBerry.

I would love to see the ability to do a "spoken" search...similar to the implementation on the Google search app. You press and hold the phone button on the Google app to speak the search term. This would completely replace Google search app for me if this functionality was there. As it is there are just times it's easier to speak what you want rather than type.

Posted by MissGerman Tuesday, Jan 19, 2010 858 days ago

This app needs to have a feature to correct misspelled words, like that of the native word correction on Blackberry
