Google has just released one of the easiest search apps for Android to date. This search feature only operates on Android 2.0 or better and is currently only available in the United States. So if users do not meet both of these requirements, they simply will not even be able to find this anywhere on the Android Market.

This app allows the user to search applications, contacts, and bookmarks by simply drawing letters on the touch screen. As letters are used to make a word, the search results are narrowed. This works along the same lines as the contact and file lists as some of the older PDAs with using a stylus, or even your fingernail, to create the letters.

This app, however, does not run on top of the handset, thereby not allowing any given time. This search is of the type that needs to be opened before each use. The suggestion is that once the app is downloaded, you place a shortcut onto the desktop of the phone for ready access.

One of the best features of this app is in the amount of time it will save the user. There is no more scrolling through long lines of contact lists or bookmarks in order to find whatever it is a user needs. By simply scribbling the first two or three letters of a word, a search is narrowed down immediately, allowing a user to choose from a much smaller field.

Again, a handset must be running on Android 2.0 or better in order for this app to work. This is definitely one of the best shortcuts for a search app that has been introduced in quite some time. This is available for free in the Android market for those users who meet the proper requirement as far as their equipment goes.
