Wave Launcher will soon be giving our search button back!

---

I was wondering a while ago if there would be any way to put an icon on a wave launcher bar that's programmed to serve as a search key, functioning as the search key would in an app. then i got the Wave Launcher update today, which mentioned that it adds compatibility for third party plugins. my email to the wave Launcher dev:

Is there (or could there be) a way to configure wave launcher so one of the icons could be a software search key? For those of us without one on our phones I mean. I have google search as one of my WL icons, but that's only part of the search key's functionality.


his response:

Hi Charlie,
We have a planned plugin with such functionality (Search key and other hardware keys).

So I'm pretty excited, this could really make it easier to decide on new phones when i'm ready, as I won't have to worry so much about buying phone whose manufacturer was stupid enough not to put the stanard search key on it (looking at you , Sony and HTC, you ******* idiots.)

All you need to do is add the Voice Search "app process" to an icon. Go to add an app process first then scroll down to Voice search. I have done this ever since I first started using Wave Launcher. Works perfectly, no 3rd party plugin needed.
