Good search but sometimes too slow and not providing any response.

Good. Versatile, Google avoidance possible. Just need to quiet down the look of it with some customisation options, especially transparency.

This app uses Yandex, a Russian search engine. Why would you want to use a Russian search engine?!?

About this app

This is a very basic app. Designed for people who wants to use a search widget with their preferred search engine.

This app contains a search bar to type in a search query, which will be opened in the Internet browser. A widget for the home screen will simply start the app.

You can change the search engine in the settings (Default is DuckDuckGo) or type in a custom search string. The app also saves the search queries as a history.
