- 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.

Just bought this app... Very conveient! Added it to Quicklaunch!!
albokay Jan 18, 2010 at 11:25 pm
That very search feature is part of quick launch 2.18
rootbeersoup Jan 19, 2010 at 4:55 am
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
albokay Jan 19, 2010 at 12:17 pm
it would be nice to remove bing. :)
rootbeersoup Jan 18, 2010 at 7:15 pm
...This would make an excellent homescreen widget. It could be there at all times.
ahaz86 Jan 18, 2010 at 7:25 pm
you mean like whats on the BeNexus theme?
supermonaka#cb Jan 18, 2010 at 7:25 pm

ttsoldier Jan 18, 2010 at 7:54 pm

ObiGeorge Jan 18, 2010 at 7:57 pm
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.
six4seven Jan 18, 2010 at 8:09 pm
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!
stillborn86 Jan 18, 2010 at 8:15 pm
You "don'" have to use Bing anymore huh?
davidnc Jan 19, 2010 at 6:07 am

Michael Hepples Jan 18, 2010 at 9:14 pm

Pathtek4 Jan 18, 2010 at 9:19 pm
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!!
jonkjon Jan 18, 2010 at 9:33 pm
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?
six4seven Jan 19, 2010 at 12:13 am
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.
faizanym Jan 19, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I want one :)
MissGerman Jan 19, 2010 at 5:23 pm
.... the background on this pic.... is that just a background OR is that a theme? either way, does anyone know where i could get it? =] lol... thanks n advance!!
Michael Hepples Jan 19, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Email obi@crackberry.com. He'll send it along to you. :)

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