Google search

[daltonos]

I would like to be able to search google directly from the launchers search box. Do you think that would be possible?

[craftyguy]

I would like this feature too, but not limited to just google. For example, search DuckDuckGo instead

[gayprogrammer]

I would not like this enhancement. I prefer how simple it is now.

If this feature is implemented, please make it an option, and make sure it doesn't break the app when Google packages are not installed.

@razzintown don't worry, I don't plan to make the launcher dependent on Google Apps.

Maybe add a system where the web-searches can be manually edited and have a search prefix. Something like:

DuckDuckGo: Prefix: d Query: https://duckduckgo.com/?q={query}

Google: Prefix: g Query: https://www.google.com?q={query}

etc.

I have added this functionality in my fork which I use on my personal device now:

You can choose from a list of predefined search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Startpage, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia).

When typing more than 1 character, the search magnifying glass on the left of the search text box changes to a blue "globe". Tapping that will open the corresponding URL in whatever browser is registered on the system to handle URLs.
