SearchIt - New App - Open Beta
My newest app is almost complete so I figured it’s time to open it up to public beta testing. The idea behind search it is simple, a pop up window which allows you to type in your search term and choose from a list of different sites to search on and then launch the search in your BB browser.
Features:
- Switch search site easily from the main screen by pressing the menu (BB) button
- Option to select default search
- Now with BOLT and Opera Mini 5 support!
- Suggestions pop up live as you type.
- Recent searches are saved and can be accessed by one click.

Usage:
Clicking “Search Using” will bring you to a list of all the sites you can search or press the menu button to cycle through them. At the bottom of this screen you can find the “Options” where you can set your default site.
I’m looking for feedback as to whether everything works as it should also any other sites that you think would be handy to have included. And of course anyone who offers legitimate feedback/suggestions will receive a free copy when released :)
