🔹 Many different languages and countries are supported. You can easily change the language/country settings within the app, and the Search Engines will adapt.

🔹 Choose which web browser to open, in the Settings❗️ Convenient if you have several browsers installed.

🔹 No intrusive permissions or background services are used, and it's fast to startup.

🔹 Quick Search requires 2 permissions: Internet Access - To retrieve search suggestions from the selected website. Network State - To detect Wi-Fi and provide the best performance.

The app is localized to 14 different languages. But the Search Engines work in virtually all global languages.

Note: Install to SD Card is not allowed on this app, because it stops the Widgets working properly.

Ratings and reviews

I downloaded the top several listed search tools, 2 at a time, and tested them against each other for speed, setting options selection, convenience, and "niiice" factor. This one beat out everything else easily. Quick, indeed. Easy to set up and so nicely customizable. Free version was good - so good I supported it by getting the paid version and was even more pleased. Excellent and exactly what I was searching for. Still 5 stars almost 2 years after first use. Excellent.

Love this little app! It let's me open my favorite browser when doing text or voice searches. Worth every penny for the paid version. :-) Two requests: 1. Have the option to initiate the search immediately after using the voice option (without having to click search). 2. Have the app truly close after opening the browser so that the app doesn't appear in the background running apps (this option in settings doesn't work). This causes me to go back to this app when switching between apps.

My default Android assistant setup ♡ Great app...would like added on the future the ability to add more than one custom search engine... and also the option to change the small icon that is close to the search field (left side) to an image that match the main image selected for the custom search. The icon for custom search on the left side is just a dashed circle. Very nice option to use your favorite search engine if your browser doesn't allows to change it... like my Samsung Internet browser.
