Ratings and reviews

Love that I can finally search for my apps and the web at the same time with the keyboard pulling up automatically. I don't understand how One UI doesn't have a default auto search when using the app drawer. One minor thing I'd like to point out though is that the keyboard loads faster when you set the search to show up at the bottom. Hopefully they'll change it soon so that it loads equally fast on both scenarios.

This is a good app for searching throughout the phone. Couple of things I want to request: an option to move the searched apps at the bottom near the keyboard instead of at the top. Allow for fuzzy search in app names. I can't find Google Play Store if I type Play, it only comes up when I type Google. Some apps don't show up in the search unless they're opened at least once from elsewhere. Idk why it is this way. Everything else is fine.

Not perfect. Some suggestions: When opening, it takes about 2 seconds for the keyboard to open. Unnecessary delay. Furthermore, when searching, it should sort the apps by usage frequency. If I search for a string and always tap the second app in the result, it should learn and put that app in the first position so I can open it by pressing the enter.
