please share the theme. Its really good. Thanks

The theme comes preinstalled on the Software Development Kit -- it isn't available on the device? I don't actually have a device, so I don't know!

Excellent BrentDC !

I will install and promote when I can.

BTW, how about also adding this for us folks in the cheap seats...

Google for Mobile:

action="http://www.google.com/m/search" searches will return results formatted for a mobile device if available.

Hi,

I forgot to update the first post, but I did now. It has been uploaded to regular Extras, and no voting is needed. You can now easily install it like every other extras app.

Concerning mobile Google, I used to use it a lot but switched to regular Google. I really prefer the full Google experience, so I don't think I'll change it. Of course, when I add user-selected search engines, you could always add it manually.

Just posting here to give a brief update on what is happening with TouchSearch:

Currently version 1.2-2 is available from Extras. This is it's initial release.

About a week ago I uploaded version 1.3-2 to extras-testing, it adds many new things to the initial release like:

* You can know press the Return key on the keyboard to initiate a search
* There is an option to select what logo style you prefer (Ghosted or Color)
* Additional search engines have been added, including Wikipedia, IMDb, Youtube, and Amazon.

It currently has +6 karma and needs +10 to be promoted to Extras, so if you have installed it, and it is working well, vote it up!

As of now I am working on version 2.0-1. It will have many improvements over previous versions. Notably, it will have a new Configure Search Engines dialog that allows you to customize TouchSearch exactly to your needs. Below are a few screenshots of it in action:

There is still quite a bit of work left to do here, so a public release is not expected until mid-January. As always, if you have found a bug in the current version or would really like to see a feature implemented, file it in TouchSearch's Bug-tracker.

Version 2 is looking nice Keep up the good work

This is exactly the feature I am eager to see, in the context of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39214 :)

Do you have any ETA for v2.0-1 to appear in dev/extras repo?

That is a really cool concept. I hadn't known about that before. I might implement something similar in future TS versions (or even have a whole separate app that uses this method).

I'm thinking mid-January, still. Maybe a little sooner, I'll have to see how much time I can put into it this coming weekend

Thanks. Nice to hear that :) Actually, I have an idea which I'll describe to you about on PM.

I totally understand. I face similar problems when developing my own projects. ;)

Replied to PM.
