There's an option to use 1x1 widget where you can choose whether you want text search or voice search according to whether you tap the top-left or bottom-right of the icon - didn't even know that was possible! Very simple widget, I like! Uses much less space on screen than Google search bar widget. I like!

WHAT CHANGED?? This app used to allow me to search my contact list from the search widget, why all of a sudden I'm no longer able to do this function? Sadly, this app is no longer of use to me because of this.

It needs updating, the widgets are all 2x2 even though they should be 1x1

Finally! an app which works and has a simple icon instead of a search bar.

Could have been a good app but doesn't have 1x1 widget as stated which makes it useless for me.

About this app

Are you tired of looking at the Google Search widget, but still want easy access to searching? This widget is for you. With widget sizes of 1x1 and 1x2, this minimalist widget adds a simple icon to activate either Global Search or Voice Search.

Note: If you want to remove the Google Search bar from ICS or above, you will need to install an alternative launcher app, such as Nova Launcher. Then, add this widget to get back search functionality on your home screen.

This widget looks great with other minimalist widgets, such as Beautiful Widgets, Weather Eye, Circle Battery Widget, and Minimalist Text. Check out the last screenshot for an example with Weather Eye and Circle Battery Widget.

To use the Voice Search widget, you must have an app installed to handle voice searching. Google's Voice Search app is perfect for this, as is any other app that handles the android.speech.RecognizerIntent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH Intent action.

New features

Added 1x1 widget with both Global Search and Voice Search icons.
