iSearch For S60 5th Edition
Freeware Web Search Launcher!
 The widgets experts over at moubail.com have just released jet another free and finger friendly widget for Nokia devices based on the 5th edition of the S60 platform.
The iSearch widget is a web search launcher inspired by Russell Beattie's Q Search widget and optimized for the Nokia N97 to be used as a "Home Screen Widget" but it is also compatible with other touch S60 devices such as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5530 XpressMusic or Samsung Omnia HD where it can be launched from the shortcuts bar or through the menu icon like any other application
iSearch widget has a touch friendly UI and currently supports seven different search options/engines (Google, Bing, Flick, Youtube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Definr) to choose from. The widget is free but if you like it please consider making a donation.
iSearch speeds up the task of searching for stuff on the mighty Internet. All you need to do is to type a word to search for and click the service of your choice and the widget launches the phone’s browser and loads the result. The widget remembers the last thing that you searched for and displays it in the text box when you start the widget next time.

TIP! To make searching even faster you can set one of the services as default so that when you hit the ‘Enter’ key on the keyboard the widget launches the search right away. You set the default by clicking the ‘Enter’ symbol on the right end of the buttons.
