Search inside the calendar! This app searches inside the calendar, not just the titles but everything inside! Essential! @Motorola Milestone 2

Since Droid2 & other Droids have no native phone-wide search app (ridiculous, right?) this app is essential. Search results should appear quickly. If not, check which email acct you are using with Android Market. I have a dedicated acct for my phone and an older acct that I use as well. App suddenly stopped giving results, wd just search endlessly. Think this happened after Gingerbread update. Uninstalled. At top of Market page used pulldown to select other older GMail acct. Now works again. Would be 5 stars if not for this glitch.

Fantastic app for finding data! This is a great app! I use Business Calendar for appointments but it has a one year limit on searching the calendar for past appointments. With Power Search, I can locate appointments as far back as the data stored on my device. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and have found the searches to be quick and accurate. I'm using it to search calendar, contacts and texts only, though it will search more apps if you set it up in preferences to do so. My thanks to this developer for solving my searching dilemma!

Hello? Not up to the mark at all. I didn't find any app or a widget which could search the SD card contents from the home screen shortcut. *But apps do that but not this who didn't even update it for around 4 years. I have ES EXPLORER which search contents of sd card in a flash!!
★★☆☆☆
uninstalling I used to think this worked pretty good, but recently I discovered that some searches on my HTC desire Z were linked wrong. That is, the search indicates that a Contact is relevant, however, when I click on the contact, it brings me to some other, unrelated, contact. I can't rely on this, so as soon as I find a replacement universal search tool, I will be uninstalling this app.
★★☆☆☆
Slooooowww! Doesn't it index the data? This app has been several minutes now searching my phone for a word that I know is in the Calendar. But it's still searching... no response. Doesn't it create a data index, like Aurora? It should. Once it does, I'll try it again and hopefully see some results.
★★☆☆☆
Don't bother Never worked properly. Contacts in the same organization are jumbled. The name that comes first alphabetically in the same organization will get dialed regardless of what the search result shows or who you intend to dial. Quits working completely and resorts back to searching by first name only after a few days. Restarting the phone will make it work for a few more days.
★★☆☆☆
No oauth? Kind of a weird search app. Makes you enter any Google login info for accounts you want to search, and is limited to two. It was great on the G1, but it hasn't kept up, which is bad since the crippling of the Andeoid search function is so entirely crippling.
