A very convenient way to search for things on the web is to simply speak your search term. With the Voice Search app, you can do just that. Search the web and the contents of your phone with simple commands. You can also control the phone with voice actions. Place calls by simply stating the contact and using a call command. Sometimes you have to repeat yourself, but that hardly diminishes the simplicity of the app. It’s especially useful while driving. The free Voice Search app is available at the Android Market.

Gesture Search Android App

Another innovative way to search for things on the Android smartphone is with the touchscreen and gestures. The Gesture Search app lets you draw letters on the touchscreen to locate files on your phone. You can quickly find bookmarks, contacts, apps, or music files. The app is responsive to each letter you write and adjusts the search results as you write. With each search query, the search results improve. A downside noted by some users is that the app doesn’t adjust to landscape mode when the phone is rotated. The free Gesture Search app is available at the Android Market.

Job

Job Search Android App

A great way to land the next job is to search online on popular job sites. With the Job Search app, you can start that search anywhere. This Android search app is designed to search for jobs posted at indeed.com. The site displays postings from several online job boards. You can read the details of the job and find out how to apply. It’s great for locating job offers, but you can’t apply directly from the app. For that, you need to use a desktop or laptop. The free Job Search app is available at the Android Market.

Look Up Lyrics

Lyrics Search Android App

Ever wonder what the lines to a song were? Well, with the Lyric Search app, you can find the lyrics to any song by typing the song title into a search box. You can also search by artist.

Find Torrents
