Android gets more useful, adds Quick Search Box

Google’s Android OS added in a Quick Search Box (“QSB”) that searches everything on your Android phone as well as the web. When you type in a search item, results populate so you can just select the matching result. Additionally, if every time you type in “Ga” you are looking for your Gadgetell.com bookmark, Google’s QSB will learn your behavior and will make it a top result.

If you’re thinking, “Hey, this is 2009. I don’t want to do any typing!” – well, Google’s got you covered with voice search as long as you search in English. Other applications (outside of official Google apps) will be able to add their suggestions to QSB. The QSB is located on the home screen for easy access or you can use the Search button on your keyboard (if you Android phone has one). This feature is available on Android 1.6.
