(Archived) FEATURE REQUEST: Integrate into native search

Hello,

I just bought a motorola milestone with Android 2.0.1 on it - and noticed in the /settings /search /searchable items, there are third party applications currently there such as RTM, ColorNote, GOALS, etc (over and above the contacts /apps /google search)....

What this means is- when I click search from my homescreen (or alternately start typing on my keyboard), the system automatically searches those pre defined directories for the item(s) I am looking for (so in this case my contacts, google search, RTM and applications).

Is is possible to add some code into that section, so I can include my evernote notes and search them from the homescreen instead (the same way that I do for the others)? It would eliminate the step of launching the app first. Just a thought,

Thanks and love the software btw, I use it on my 2 macs, PC, iPhone and Milestone

I expect to search EN on the droid is a function of the droid app not the EN app.

I use aurora for my droid searches - maybe if enough EN folks request it of the DROID app developers, thay might contact the EN folks.

There's a search api in Android you can hook into that makes your application searchable from the native search-functionality. That's how, for example, contacts show up when you start typing. You can activate more applications from the Settings -> Search menu.

I don't understand your request. I was using en stable - and had note search - now I switched to the beta - and still have note search. There was no problem to activate and use it right away.

Are you sure that you selected en as a search provider?

What do you mean with "selected en as a search provider"?

I wolud have EverNote listed as "searchable item" win Google Search Widget.

My EN version is 3.6.2 and off-line and search option is checked

I have evernote selected in searchable items, like you.

I can search my EN account with and even without a connection by just typing in my query in the google search widget. That is why I don't understand the request.

Android 4.0.4 / EN Beta

samsung note ...I have evernote selected as search item and device global search no longer brings evernote search results as of update before last.

It is working for me (Samsung Galaxy Y) but there is a privacy issue; even my Evernote being PIN locked, the Android search DOES open/show the matching Evernote notes without asking for the PIN.

Is it a bug or it's working as designed ?
