I just found it here:
http://www.nokian900applications.com...or-nokia-n900/

I didn't know you made another great app! This is the third app from you I'm using.. quality stuff!

I will test and report any issues
As said before, lowercase by default would be very nice

No, not at the moment.

So, does it index all these things, or does it grep on the fly? Can you give some specifics about how it works?

Any plans to search email?

Ok, some notes.
No indexing.I think it is quite fast, no need to indexing the data.
I use the fremantle APIs to access the data
(osso-abook, calendar-backend and rtcom).
The calender summary and description text for events and task
are searched. I forgot the calendar notes (journal), next version
includes this as well.
For contacts, most contact fields are searched
(PHONE, EMAIL, NAME, LABEL, NICKNAME ....),
next Version will include NOTE and ORG(company).
The next version will make the search in a background thread,
that way it does not freeze the UI and you can cancel a running search.
And you will be able to select the categeories to search
(for example only search in the calendar) and switch between
case sensitive and case insensitive search.

Looks really promising. Great Application!
Sadly I get a "segfault error" at many search terms. So lets hope for the next improved version...

Very useful, for me mainly to be able to search calender!
Is it possible to add search for email in the future?
(Sorry have to ask again....)

Thanks for the effort!

I must say that after the last update this is really becoming a killer app!

I also noticed that clicking a conversation opens the conversations app, which is great! However, it shows the most recent message, and the word you searched for might be located faaar back in the message chain, so finding it is not so easy.

I understand it might not be possible to open the conversations app and jump to a specific message, so could there perhaps be an option to either open only the specific message (as in the previous version) or the entire conversation?

Yes, here is the new version(0.2):
* search runs in a background thread (does not freeze UI and can be canceled)
* enable/disable searchcategories (calendar, contacts, conversation)
* enable/disable case sensitive search
* open conversation app from conversation search results
* disable auto capitalize and dictionary for the search entry field
* fixed bug with non ascii char in search results
* Note and Company contact field are searched as well

And yes, I don't like it, that the conversation app shows the
whole thread. And you are right, maybe I should make an option, so you can choose, to open the conversation app or only one message.

I would like to search emails as well, but don't know
an easy way to access the email text.

thank you for your feedback.
regards
nicolai

I haven't updated yet but the conversation app just opens the message with the item I searched for and not the whole conversation as reported by some. Tried different search words and the same result. Just wondering why I got different results

The old version opens up the specific message in a new window. The new version opens up the Conversations app allowing you to view your entire conversation with that person.

A combination of the two would be ideal - but this may not be possible. So perhaps a better choice would be an option to choose between the two (as mentioned earlier).
