This app has two problems. 1. When I restart my phone from safe mode. The external search engine data from the widget get wiped. 2. The app has no option to save external search engine.

Perfect, if you want a box on the desktop to type a search into the doesn't open a full screen app but goes straight to you chosen search engine, this is for you. The only thing missing is the ability to change the target search once you've place the widget. In truth this is a very minor thing. To sum up, this widget is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks.

I am going to give it a five out of five. But there are still features that I would like to see. ..... 1. I want to be able to select background color with transparency. 2. Smooth and maybe round corners. 3. Select border size and color (any color). 4. Add DuckDuckGo as default (It already works though) with an icon and with auto completion ;).... Please keep current features and add above ones. :)

Brilliant, simple, minimal design. 5/5 for me

Voice search would be nice... Choosing the search engine dinamically even nicer. I would be willing to pay just to have a better designed search bar. Unfortunately the choice is very poor. At least this neat widget has no ads. Thumbs up!

Old but gold. Why they don't create apps like this anymore?

About this app

Like the style of the Google search widget on ICS?
Then you should try "Simple Search Widget"! It looks like the standard Android 4.0 search widget, but you can change the search provider to any site you want: Wikipedia, Google, Bing, Amazon or anything* else!


Features:
• Changable search provider
• Type directly in the widget, no need to open another app
• Looks like the standard search widget
• Dark, white or none border
• Text color changeable
• Default text changeable
• Resizable widget
• No scary permissions


* currently only sites, which put the search word at the end of the URL are supported, like Wikipedia, Google and many more. Other sites might be supported in an upcoming version
