Askeroid Mobile Search Widget
Free AppAbout Askeroid Mobile Search Widget
***completely new revolutionary Askeroid 4.0 – with online engine catalog and custom search engine editor at askeroid.com ***
Askeroid is a mobile desktop search widget. We offer 300 different Web search engines in our online catalog, and the number keeps growing! Add Askeroid button or bar widget to your home screen, choose one or more buttons for your most used search engines, and enjoy the full power of vertical search. Add your own search engines in our online crouwdsourcing platform.
We search all vertical areas you may ever need:
- knowledge bases (Wikipedia, IMdB, HowStuffWorks, WolframAlpha)
- dictionaries (Dictionary.com, Thesaurus.com, Merriam-Webster, Canoonet)
- translation services (Google Translate, Lingvo, Multitran, Zargan, Dict.cc)
- files (4Shared, 2shared, HotFileSearch)
- torrents (The PirateBay, Demonoid.me, ISOHunt, KickAss, Toorgle, µTorrent, UTorrent)
- music (AllMusic, Pandora, WhoSampled, Jamendo, Last.fm, Spotiseek)
- videos (YouTube, Vevo, Blip.tv, Criticker)
- images (DeviantArt, Flickr, Creative Commons, Google Images)
- social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Hyves)
- questions and answers (Answers.com, Quora, ChaCha)
- mobile apps (Android Market, Amazon, 1Mobile, AppBrain)
- classifieds (Craiglist, KiJiJi)
- e-commerce (Amazon, Pricegrabber, BestBuy, uSwitch, Dealspl.us, Bondfaro, Mercado, Allegro)
- events (TicketMaster, GrooveTickets)
- maps (Google Maps, Yandex Maps)
- health (WebMD, PubMed.gov)
- news (CNet, Bay News 9, Engadget, Reddit)
- urban culture (Urban Dictionary, Snopes)
There are many other websites and verticals you can search with Askeroid. Do you know that there is a search engine for all things about peanuts? Try The Peanut Roster.
If you have no idea what search engine fits your need best, use a new focused no-spam search engine (Blekko, DevilFinder, DuckDuckGo, Mooter, Beaucoup, Copernic) or natural language question search (Ask.com, True Knowledge,). You might be surprised at how good they are!
You can also use an old fashioned general purpose search engine (Google, Bing, Ask, Yahoo,) or try meta search across them all (Dogpile, Webcrawler, Hotbot). Several search engines can even make you some money (Swagbuck, MyPoints).
If you live in a non-English speaking country, we have for you national search engines (Baidu, Yandex, Terra, Eniro, entireWeb).
If the search engine you need is not listed or found inside Askeroid, use a feature "Not found" to send me a message. I quickly fulfill most (but not all) requests - please do not ask for warez or porn! You are free to use such search engines but not through Askeroid.

One widget, 300 search engines and I get only 4 listed, without any luck of changing to different one. And the worst they were not even search engines, I got listed Imdb, 4shared... interface design is poor, not apealing at all. Four stars as incentive to make it better. :-)

This sounds like a great app that I could have so many uses for, but right now I can't set it up as a widget. It shows up as an app. Get it to work and I will gladly give it 5 stars.

this has always been my favorite search app. Google Search turned into horrible bloatware. I made my homescreen beautiful with single askeroid icons. perfect. you would think the creator was from mit or something. dev, please don't ever unpublish this. it's essential to my android experience. also email me if you want the official kitkat Google G instead of that bad liking blue g!

Every time I try to use Google, it says "Unfortunately Askeroid has stopped working". I can use some of the other search engines but Google has never worked for me which is one of the main reasons I got the app :-(

The most search engines available compared to any other app of its kind. 4x1 widget is kind of ugly though.
by S####:
I had this app on a previous phone and I LOVED it. I use it to have a swagbucks search bar instead of the Google search bar. But trying to set it up now, it won't let me customize the 4 search engines for the widget so it's basically useless. Very disappointing. Tried emailing the developer but the message bounced back.
