Comments on Simple Search for Android

★★★★★ Ryan Burke · Jul 5, 2019
Exactly what I was looking for. A simple, no BS search bar widget that uses the engine I want and shows the results in my default browser of choice. A+
★★★★☆ Fyuuredhijgfzre Gjjygtdftyirguug · Jan 3, 2021
Good... two things needed: voice search (non-google) and transparent widget.
★★★★★ Rachel Stankiewicz · Feb 17, 2021
I love simple search because it has the buttons that I want to click on like say either lie spoilers The Young and the restless spoilers do the hospital spoilers and the top it all off I need WWE because that is the important thing that I need that's why I have simple search, so I can search it to find out what's going on in WWE
★★★★★ Kishore Gopalakrishnan · Apr 17, 2019
Does exactly what it says. This is a really good option if you want to have a widget for a non-google search engine on your home screen. It is also open-source, which is a huge plus.
★☆☆☆☆ Pete Betz · Mar 13, 2018
It doesn't work. Just opens a bunch of browser windows to Google or whatever, where you have to type in the search terms again.
★☆☆☆☆ Alma Express · Jun 20, 2019
It does not have any settings for what browser to open search results with but open default one without asking.
★☆☆☆☆ Rocky Palmer · Mar 23, 2021
This app uses Yandex, a Russian search engine. Why would you want to use a Russian search engine?!?
