Simple and customizable search bar
F-Droid repository metadata
A very basic app designed for people who want to use a search widget with their preferred search engine.
This app contains a search bar to type in a search query, which will be opened in the Internet browser. A widget for the home screen will simply start the app.
You can change the search engine in the settings (Default is DuckDuckGo) or type in a custom search string. The app also saves the search queries as a history.

How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.

- Files are scanned for malware on every update.
- The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
- Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
