Russell Beattie, one of the smartest guys in mobile, has put together a quick widget for S60 5th Edition touchscreen smartphones called Q Search. This widget, which he says took 3 hours and only 30 lines of code, allows you to quickly search a number of different search engines, without having to load up the browser and navigate to a search page. There is also a homescreen widget for the N97 that allows quick access.
Russell was surprised by how easy it was for him to build the widget, and was impressed with the tools available. You can download the widget here. If you’ve got some time, you can browse through Russell’s blogging archives here. There’s some really fascinating stuff, especially from a few years ago.
