Swearch.me combines swiping and searching for your iPhone

Swearch.me is a clean homepage for your iPhone that allows you to pick from four different search engines just by swiping. You can bookmark this page or even make it an icon on a homepage on your iPhone for quick and easy searching of the web with four of the most commonly used search engines. Swearch.me was clearly created with mobile Safari in mind. Actually, the site is optimized for the Retina Display. After visiting Swearch.me, you’ll be presented with a clean search page for Google. But you can swipe the screen to change to another. Currently, you can swipe between Google, Twitter, Wikipedia and Flickr. That’s not to say that more won’t be added later.

Make searching awesome again in Firefox

I love Firefox, but if there is one thing that could use some attention, it’s the search box. Sure, you can add a ton of different search engines to it, even custom add any one that you want, but it’s slow. First you have to open a new tab, then select the search engine you want to use, then type your query and hit enter. This might not seem like a long time to you, but the seconds add up through the day if you search as often as some of us. Good news, there’s a faster way.

Firefox can search right from the Awesome Bar, and I have to say, since I discovered this fact, Firefox has been that much more awesome to me.
