Google Search Plugin for Windows Mobile!

Posted by: Ragart on Mar 19 2008

imageSomething cool from the Google Mobile Blog. I’m not completely sure if it works for touchscreen devices, but the screenshot shows WM Standard devices running a native google plugin nicely. It allows you to have a quick search bar right on the today screen, much like Microsoft’s own Live Search. All you need to do is go to mobile.google.com, download the program, and then search away!

I’ve always wanted to be able to put these search bars to good use, but I’ve always found it more convenient to just launch the browser and use the google homepage. I also wonder how this plugin recognizes the  "default browser" you’ve set on WM. What if you’re not using PIE? :O

    Yes!

    And you can set it as a custom tab in Pocket Breeze - so you may, with one tap, bring it up and use it.

    Just as a today plugin it uses about 1.5 to 2 Mb of RAM.
