The Google Search bar is quite useful. The system wide searching quite often comes in handy for searching for things. But now and again I want to search for something on Wikipedia or YouTube and I’m left browsing to the app or website and then trying to find the search option. This app certainly helps me out in these situations. I can create two or three widgets for specific searches and change them as I need. It’s a free app with an advert at the bottom so it’s not too obtrusive.
Here is what the developer has to about their app.
“A fast web search Widget.
Quick Search is a fast and lightweight web search App. It works with various Internet websites to provide fast shortcuts to them, and it includes a Widget for your Home Screen.
