Searchmate for Android
I've been looking for something like this for a long time! So far it works very well, but I have some suggestions that would improve it a lot: a) include some default search engines to make it a bit easier for first-time users, like Wikipedia and Google Image Search. b) Homescreen shortcuts directly to a specific search engine. Then I could have an icon for wikipedia, an icon for google image search, etc. Even better would be if it used the favicon for the website ;) Personally I don't see the point for those big 4x1 search widgets, because if you have to tap on it anyway to start typing, it could just be a 1x1 icon.
Ok.
